Sparta Rotterdam vs Willem II Prediction

Sparta Rotterdam host Willem II on 17 October 2026 at 22:00 in a clash between two Eredivisie sides drowning in poor form. Sparta are winless in six matches after a 3-3 draw with Go Ahead Eagles, while Willem II have not won in eight league games and remain without a victory this season. The visitors arrive with injury problems affecting Calum, Hoogma, and Lachkar, compounding their struggles on the road.

Sparta showed attacking intent against Go Ahead Eagles and Casper Terho could earn a starting berth after scoring off the bench. Their defence remains the critical weakness, conceding 2.10 goals per game at home over their recent run. Willem II have been equally chaotic away from home, leaking goals regularly but continuing to score in every recent fixture. Both teams carry attacking threat but defensive fragility, setting up a match where goals should flow from both sides.

Form and H2H

Sparta Rotterdam have won one, drawn five, and lost four of their last ten matches, averaging 1.40 goals for and 2.11 against. Willem II's away record stands at two wins, two draws, and six losses from their last ten, with 0.99 goals scored and 2.40 conceded per game. The head-to-head record shows Willem II hold the edge with four wins to Sparta's one, though their most recent meeting ended 1-3 in Sparta's favour in December 2020.
