NAC Breda vs Sparta Rotterdam Betting Tips - Sparta Rotterdam to Win
A tight and likely low-scoring affair could be on the cards when two Eredivisie strugglers face off in Breda this weekend.
Placed 12th and 16th respectively, only four points separates these sides, with Sparta currently occupying the relegation playoff spot. However, the visitors have enjoyed better form in recent weeks, winning three of their last five league fixtures. Conversely, NAC failed to win any of their last five league outings, picking up just two points since their last league victory in January.
The Pearl of the South have enjoyed a strong record at Verlegh Stadion this season, picking up five wins and only three defeats in their last ten home fixtures. However, Carl Hoefkens were held to low-score draws in their last two matches in Breda, including a goalless stalemate against Feyenoord last weekend.
Sparta make the trip to Breda in high spirits after picking up another vital victory last weekend. Maurice Steijn´s side claimed an impressive 4:0 win against fellow relegation rivals Willem II, marking a third win in five for the improving De Kasteelheren.
While in good form at home, Sparta have been less impressive on their travels. The Rotterdam-based side fell to defeat in six of their last nine away fixtures, with only one win on the road recorded since September. Steijn´s men failed to score in five of those six losses.
Given the importance of this fixture, a potentially cagey affair should be expected. Five of Sparta´s last seven away fixtures saw under 2.5 goals scored, and I fancy a similar outcome on Friday.
Under 2.5 goals is my only choice at Rat Verlegh Stadion.
