We said: Sparta Rotterdam 2-1 Heerenveen

While Heerenveen are enjoying a progressive campaign, their away record has been dismal this season, which does not bode well for their chances here against a Sparta side that is unbeaten in their last five home games. The hosts have the third-best record in the top flight over the last five matchdays, only behind Ajax and Feyenoord, and we feel they will be able to edge the visitors to a win in this one.
