Thursday’s football game at Sparta Stadion Het Kasteel will bring down the curtain on day 18 of the new Eredivisie campaign. The Rotterdammers showed character in their last league match, with the team scoring a late equalizer in a 2-2 draw with Vitesse, but they have not record a win in the Dutch top flight since November 6, 2021. Goalkeeper Benjamin van Leer should be the only absentee in the home team.

RKC, on the other hand, suffered a heavy 4-1 loss to league leaders PSV in their last league match. The visitors have been struggling at the back of late, and seeing that Sparta produced a fine display in the draw with Vitesse, home win should be considered. Defender Shawn Adewoye is banned for the visitors, while midfielder Sebbe Augustijns misses the midweek clash through injury.

This match will be played on 23/12/2021 at 21:00

Prediction:
1-0
