Both Sparta and Waalwijk could be counted amongst the worst teams in the Eredivisie at the moment. They are conceding goals quite in plenty, and are understandably placed in the bottom-most tier of the table. 

As these two try to put an end to their respective dismal streaks, expect a fierce fixture this Thursday at the Sparta Stadion Het Kasteel, and as a result, anticipate goals in huge numbers as well.

Sparta Rotterdam vs Waalwijk Prediction & Analysis 

Sparta are on a six-game winless run, and four of these were losses. They were also winless in 20 of their past 24 fixtures, and they have a total of one win at home since May. Do also note that they have not kept a single clean sheet at home all this season. 

On the other hand, Waalwijk had just lost 1-4 at home against PSV, and they were also winless in six of their past eight fixtures. And importantly, their only win on the road since November of 2020, had come against a team from the lower division – Harkemase Boys.
