Sparta Rotterdam vs Heracles Match Analysis & Prediction
11/08/2024 1:15 pm
Sparta Rotterdam will get their 2024-25 Eredivisie campaign underway when they play host to Heracles Almelo at Sparta-Stadion Het Kasteel on Sunday.
Sparta Rotterdam picked up 49 points from 34 matches last season to finish in eighth position and secure a spot in the playoffs for Europa Conference League qualification.
Unfortunately for Jeroen Rijsdijk’s side, their bit to secure European qualification was ended by a 3-0 defeat in the playoff semi-finals against Utretch.
They will certainly carry momentum into the new campaign after posting seven wins and one draw in pre-season, including a narrow 2-1 victory over NAC Breda in their most recent friendly.
Sparta will hope that their pre-season results and performances can inspire them to secure their first competitive home victory over Heracles since positing a 3-1 win in March 2017.
Meanwhile, after earning promotion in 2022-23, Heracles would have been satisfied with their efforts to secure safety last season,
Erwin van de Looi’s side picked up 33 points from 34 matches to finish in 14th position and four points clear of the bottom three in the Eredivisie.
Heracles have endured an underwhelming run of results in their pre-season schedule, drawing against Almelose Selectie, Dender and Munster before losing to Excelsior and Groningen.
Sparta Rotterdam vs. Heracles Head to head
In the previous 31 meetings between these two teams, Sparta have claimed 12 victories while Heracles have won nine, and they have drawn in 10. Heracles have scored 36 goals and conceded 44 in the process.
