We said: FC Utrecht 2-1 Sparta Rotterdam

This encounter has all the makings of a tightly fought contest, with Utrecht buoyed by their strong form on their own turf, while Sparta arrive looking to make their recent away run count. That said, although the visitors have shown defensive discipline on their travels of late, the hosts possess the firepower to break them down, having scored 61 goals in the league — the fourth-best return in the division — and that quality in the final third could prove decisive in edging a narrow victory for the home team.
