Sparta Rotterdam will face Excelsior Rotterdam in their 48th competitive meeting, with the home team missing important midfield anchor Arno Verschueren due to suspension. Despite this, Sparta will look to continue their impressive unbeaten W7, D1 record against teams placed ninth or lower in the league. Sparta Rotterdam can be proud of their first matches of the new year despite playing against powerful teams like PSV twice within three days. They were able to eke out an Eredivisie draw that helped keep them within reach of the top four. With this chance to take on a lower placed opposition, They will be looking to end their recent losing streak. With the return of Younes Namli, and Tobias Lauritsen scoring four times in his last seven official games for Sparta. Excelsior has a good history against Sparta, winning three of the four clashes in the 2017/18 season and the one prior. They haven't lost any of the last 12 H2Hs across any competition but this match tonight, is definietly a best possible chance for Sparta to break this tradition and win over rival in style. Excelsior has struggled on the road lately, losing their last three away trips by a combined aggregate score of 15-3. Sparta is expected to win this match. 3-1 AND 2-0 HOME WINS ARE IN MY MIND WHEN IT COMES TO THE CORRECT SCORE PREDICTION.

鹿特丹斯巴达将在第48场正式比赛中对阵鹿特丹精英队，主队因停赛缺席了重要的中场主力维尔许伦。尽管如此，斯巴达将继续他们令人印象深刻的W7不败纪录，D1对阵排名第九或更低的球队。鹿特丹斯巴达可以为他们新年的第一场比赛感到自豪，尽管他们在三天内两次与埃因霍温这样的强队交手。他们在与荷甲的平局中勉强保住了前四的位置。有机会挑战排名较低的对手，他们将寻求结束最近的连败。随着尤尼斯·纳姆利的回归，托拜厄斯·劳瑞特森在最近7场正式比赛中为斯巴达打进4球。Excelsior在与斯巴达的比赛中战绩不错，在2017/18赛季的四场比赛中赢了三场，在之前的比赛中赢了一场。在过去的12场比赛中，他们从未输过任何一场h2h，但今晚的这场比赛绝对是斯巴达打破这一传统并在风格上击败对手的最好机会。Excelsior最近在客场表现不佳，以15-3的总比分输掉了最近的三次客场比赛。斯巴达有望赢得这场比赛。在我的脑海中，3-1和2-0的主场胜利是正确的比分预测。
