Sparta Rotterdam and Willem II meet in the Eredivisie with both clubs stuck near the bottom of the table and in need of points from this game to prop up their situation. Sparta Rotterdam have still not won in 5 matches running, but they did not lose their latest one, a 3-3 draw. Willem II have it worse in that they have lost 3 in a row and have just gone down 1-3. Both teams have leaky defences, with Willem II having conceded 23 goals in 8 matches, while Sparta Rotterdam clearly score more. If Willem II can keep defending solidly and wait to counter like they did early in games, this one has a chance of finishing close and not far apart, which is the route by which the visitors can still take points home.
