The Eredivisie returns to action this weekend as Sparta Rotterdam welcomes Utrecht to the Sparta Stadion for an important clash.

Sparta were sent crashing back to earth last weekend, as they fell to a 4-0 loss against Ajax. This loss is reflective of their recent form, as they have failed to win 4 of their last 5 games. Going into this game, Sparta will not be too confident of taking something from this game as they are currently in a bad form, and they have a very terrible head to head record against their visitors.

Utrecht on the other hand will head into this game in excellent form and will be looking to climb higher up the league table. They were held to a draw by PSV in their last game, so they will be hoping to make amends in this game. On the attack, Utrecht have shown that they have the ability to tear open opposition defense and that will come in handy in this game.

Looking at the records have shown that Utrecht have the upper hand in this fixture. Of the last 15 meetings between these two sides, Utrecht have come out unbeaten, a record extending to 2008. Additionally, Utrecht are currently on a 4 game winning streak over Sparta, a run during which they scored a total of 13 goals. We are backing the visitors here as we expect them to do enough to avoid a defeat by either securing a victory or by earning a draw.

本周末鹿特丹斯巴达将在斯巴达球场迎接乌得勒支，这将是一场重要的比赛。

斯巴达队在上周末以0 - 4负于阿贾克斯，彻底回到了人间。这场失利反映了他们最近的状态，因为他们在过去的5场比赛中没有赢4场。在这场比赛中，斯巴达不会太有信心从这场比赛中获得什么，因为他们目前的状态很糟糕，他们与客队的正面交锋记录非常糟糕。

另一方面，乌得勒支将以出色的状态进入这场比赛，并将寻求在积分榜上爬得更高。他们在上一场比赛中被埃因霍温逼平，所以他们希望在这场比赛中弥补。在进攻方面，乌得勒支已经展示了他们有能力撕开对手的防线，这将在这场比赛中派上用场。

从记录来看，乌得勒支在这场比赛中占了上风。在这两支球队最近的15次交锋中，乌得勒支保持不败，这一记录一直延续到2008年。此外，乌得勒支目前对斯巴达有4连胜，在这期间他们总共进了13个球。我们在这里支持客队，因为我们希望他们能够尽力避免失败，要么取得胜利，要么取得平局。
