Sparta arrives at this clash knowing that they will find it difficult to overcome a direct opponent in the table, however, the team plays as home team and needs to impose themselves within the four lines, with good football and ball possession to control the actions of the match. The opponent should not be happy to play only defensively and will probably look for the attack, so a solid and well-placed defense is essential, as well as strong pressing in midfield.
Confirmed Lineup: Maduka Okoye, Tom Beugelsdijk, Dirk Abels, Mica Pinto, Bart Vriends, Giannis Masouras, Sven Mijnans, Bryan Smeets, Adil Auassar, Vito van Crooy, Mario Engels.
Coach: H. Fraser.
