Venue: Mandemakers Stadion, Waalwijk.

The 24th round of Dutch Eredivisie is starting on Friday night with an encounter between RKC Waalwijk and Sparta Rotterdam.

Hosts are currently in impossible situation when it comes to battle against relegation, being more than ten points away from the safe zone. This means they will not benefit from a potential draw here, but having to include a lot of risk and aim for victory.

Sparta Rotterdam have been easy to beat away from home this season, but they surely can do better against last placed squad?

RKC vs Sparta Rotterdam: Prediction

The current odds are slightly favoring the visitors at 2.30, while chances for RKC to win 3rd match at Mandemakers this season are at 2.87.

Waalwijk just got dispatched in the capital by Ajax without firing one single bullet. The most inefficient team in the league has bagged 11 goals in 11 appearances at home. A big majority of those came from Sylla Sow and Clint Leemans who are expected to lead the attack once again.

Sparta Rotterdam are sitting comfortably at 11th place, with great chances to completely avoid relegation battles this season. As mentioned above, they will have to improve on away games results. Having seven losses in eleven games is surely not considered as a solid result.

Hosts are going through huge crisis and they barely can score one goal per match consistently. The most recent form for Sparta is not looking good either. They have collected only four points from the last five outings. We will stick our necks out here and back draw with a small stake.

At the same time, both teams to score at 1.53 seems like a banker approach.
