Sparta play in elite division now but show mediocre results and involved into relegation battle and still need points to secure their place in elite division. The team also started their path in the cup from round 64, knocking out Dordrecht, 3-1, PSV, 3-1, and Heracles, 3-0. Speaking of away form of the team, Sparta took only two wins on the road in 11 matches, drew three times and lost six games.
Despite playing in difference tiers, the opponents are about of the same level. In addition, representative of second division have home-field advantage which is important in cup matches. We should expect Volendam to have advantage in the match considering their excellent home results and troubles of Sparta on the road.
Prediction for the match: Volendam to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
