Sparta performed quite well last season and took eighth place in the league table. The team had a chance to fight for a place in the Conference League, but lost to Utrecht in the playoff match (1:3). During the preparation for the new championship, the club played eight friendly matches, winning seven of them. They failed to beat only Den Haag (1:1).
Heracles fought for survival last season and achieved their main goal. The team finished 14th in the Eredivisie, four points ahead of relegated Excelsior. Unlike their opponents, Heracles never won in friendly matches. In their last friendly matches, the club lost to Excelsior and Groningen.

1.80Tip and bets
The hosts have gained excellent form in friendly matches, having beaten a number of strong opponents. Most likely, Sparta will also win in the first official match of the season, because their opponent has not won for a long time and is unlikely to be able to create a sensation on the road.
Our forecast is Asian handicap (-1) on Sparta for 1.80
Bet on total
The teams are not that bad in attack, but we think the bar of 3.5 goals is too high. Most likely, in the first match of the season, the opponents will not score more than three goals.
The second bet is total under 3.5 goals for 1.60
Bet on the first half
In four of the last five head-to-head matches, Heracles lost to their opponent in the first half. Even in the lost match, Sparta managed to win the first half. We believe that this time the club from Rotterdam will be stronger after the first 45 minutes.
Prediction: Sparta wins in the first half with odds of 1.95
