Twitter- Sparta Rotterdam
Sparta Rotterdam will be welcoming ADO Den Haag at the Sparta Stadion as they look to bounce back with a win. Rotterdam is currently 11th in the league with 24 points and have won one, drawn one and lost three from their last five games in the Dutch League. Whereas, Den Haag, has been going through an underwhelming campaign as they are in the danger zone with just 17 points on board. With both sides struggling to find form, it will be interesting to see which team comes out on top by the end of 90 minutes.
