Excelsior ended their four-match unbeaten run in the last mid-week by losing to Utrecht 1:3 at their own turf. Mitchell van der Gaag's team occupies the 15th place in the standings with 29 points gained and is on the edge of the relegation zone. On the road Excelsior show mediocre results recording only eight points, 11 goals for and 29 goals against in 14 played matches. The away no-win streak counts for 12 matches and has been lasting since the 20th of September.
Both the hosting and the visiting sides are taking the relegation battle this season and the home-field advantage is about to play crucial part in this game. Sparta permanently take points at their own turf, meanwhile the hosting side show extremely poor football and weak results on the road resulted in the no-win away streak which has been lasting more than six months. And on Friday this series will be prolonged for one more game.
Prediction for the match: Sparta to win.
