Competition: Eredivisie

Market: Go Ahead Eagles draw no bet

Odds: 8/15 @ BetUS

Looking to make an immediate return to winning ways on Friday night, the Go Ahead Eagles will welcome Sparta Rotterdam to Deventer.

Starting with the hosts, despite falling to an action-packed 4-2 loss away at Heracles last week, Go Ahead Eagles should be smelling the chance to claim an immediate Eredivisie response here. Opening this weekend’s fixtures sat in the play-off places, Paul Simonis’ men have suffered just a single defeat from any of their previous 10 appearances across all competitions. With that run stemming all the way back to a 3-2 defeat against Twente on December 1st, the Deventer-based outfit will certainly be excited to make a return to home soil here. Extending on their KNVB Beker adventure earlier in the month as they claimed a 3-1 victory against Noordwijk, the Eagles have won six of their previous seven showdowns in front of their own supporters. It should also be highlighted, Friday’s hosts have suffered just a single domestic defeat at De Adelaarshorst since the opening weekend of the 2024/25 campaign.

As for the visitors, while Sparta Rotterdam might have shown some signs of life on either side of opening February, the Castle Lords came crashing back down to earth last week in a worrying fashion. Completely blown away against Feyenoord as they slumped to a 3-0 drumming, Maurice Steijn’s men are at the heart of a Eredivisie relegation scrap and have broken plenty of unwanted records. Opening Friday’s trip to Deventer sat four points adrift of safety, the former Ajax boss has plenty of pressure on his shoulders. Heading into Holland’s festive break by remarkably collecting just a sole point from any of their final eight Eredivisie appearances, Sparta Rotterdam have also recorded just a pair of top-flight wins since way back on September 21st. Likewise, crashing out of the KNVB Beker when they welcomed Friday’s hosts to the Sparta Stadion on December 18th, we are backing a home draw no bet this weekend.
