These odds from Ladbrokes were correct at the time of writing.

Sparta Rotterdam Double Chance

Sparta crawled out of the bottom three with their 2-0 win over relegation rivals Zwolle on Wednesday and their late-season spurt includes three wins in their last five matches. Heracles could slip into the relegation playoff place if results go against them on Sunday, though the wind with in-form Sparta and we’re tipping the visitors to avoid defeat in the double chance market in Almelo.

Both Teams to Score

Sunday’s game could hardly be more significant as both teams battle to beat the drop and as such, we expect the sides to throw everything at each other in search of success. Five of Heracles’ last eight Eredivisie home assignments produced action at both ends and BTTS could land again in this weekend’s crucial encounter. Each of the last three encounters between Heracles and Sparta have delivered winning both teams to score bets and we’re tipping that pattern to continue here.

Vito van Crooij to Score Anytime

Vito van Crooij has really stepped up for Sparta in the final exchanges of the campaign and three of his five goals this season have been notched inside his last seven appearances. Van Crooij was among the goalscorers when Sparta recorded a pivotal victory over Zwolle on Wednesday and the razor-sharp 26-year-old can make a similar impact at Heracles on Sunday.
