Sparta Rotterdam hosts Groningen at Het Kasteel in what looks like a fairly even match. Sparta recently pulled off a nice win on the road, but they have also suffered some heavy defeats, like a 4-0 loss and a 4-1 loss, which shows they can be vulnerable at the back. Groningen has been a bit inconsistent too, mixing wins and losses on their travels, so neither side comes into this game on a strong run of form.

Looking at past meetings between these two, the games have often been tight and low-scoring. Five of their last six matches saw just one goal or less, though there was one exception where Sparta smashed Groningen 5-0 away a few years ago. With both teams struggling for consistency and recent encounters being close, this match feels like it could go either way, but a draw seems like the most likely outcome.
