REF’s picks

Go Ahead Eagles hold the stronger form and home advantage against a struggling Sparta Rotterdam side that leaks goals on their travels. Backing the hosts to secure all three points makes sense given their competitive edge, though defensive lapses could keep the visitors in the contest longer than expected.

1. 1Go Ahead Eagles sit comfortably higher in the Eredivisie table and have shown resilience in recent matches.
2. 2Sparta Rotterdam arrive on a dismal defensive run, conceding heavily in consecutive away defeats.
3. 3The hosts have occasionally struggled to close out games cleanly, dropping points from winning positions recently.
