LiontipsHeracles vs Sparta Rotterdam. Prediction and bets on the match of the Dutch championship
Command Analysis
Current form
Heracles could hardly have set themselves more ambitious goals than staying in the Eredivisie, and the selection of players did not allow them to solve even this task without problems. While Erwin van de Looy team is currently in 15th place in the table and is two points clear of the relegation zone, the relegation zone is five points away. In the last round, Heracles lost 2:5 away to Feyenoord, thus suffering their eighth defeat of the season and extending their winless streak in the championship to five matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bultman, Kulenovic, Kestic and Laursen are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Heracles have not won in their last seven matches – four defeats and three draws
- Heracles have scored in five of their last six home games
Probable line-up: De Keyser - Benita, Mirani, Mesik, Rusken - de Keersmaeker, Van Kam, Scheperman, Sand, Engels - Hornkamp.
Current form
Sparta, unlike its opponent today, clearly expected to fight for a place in the top eight before the start of the season and generally had a quite combat-ready squad for this. However, the Rotterdammers failed in the first round and currently occupy only 16th place in the table with 12 points, three points away from the direct relegation zone, the saving 15th place is two points away - there is a chance to escape from the bottom today. In the last round, Sparta lost 0:2 to Ajax at home, thus suffering its ninth defeat this season.

Bakari and De Guzman are injured.

1.71Tip and bets
Heracles are not exactly the brightest stars, but they are traditionally strong and extremely aggressive in attack in home games – they have managed to score 11 goals in their last six home games. It is obvious that Sparta, with its problems in defense, will find it very difficult to keep a clean sheet against such an opponent, but at the same time, the Rotterdam team will definitely take risks, a defeat against one of their main competitors will significantly worsen the situation – an exchange of goals is almost inevitable.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Betting Tip - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.61
Bet on the outcome
Heracles have looked more than decent in their last home games, having suffered only one defeat in their last eight home games. It is obvious that today the hosts will try to build on their success in an attempt to avoid falling into the transitional games zone and increase their lead over their main rival. Sparta has been in crisis for a long time, having won their last victory back in September last year, and it is unlikely that the Rotterdam team will be able to break this streak in a match against Heracles at home.
Bet - Asian handicap (0) on Heracles. This bet is offered for 1.91
Bet on corners
Heracles will probably spend a lot of time attacking at home, but Sparta is quite capable of responding, there should be a lot of corners.
