Match Stats

Utrecht only managed one win in their final four matches, finishing six points behind fifth-placed Ajax and 15 points behind fourth-placed AZ Alkmaar. In their last game, they came back from three goals down against AZ to salvage a 3-3 draw.

Ron Jans's team aims to secure European football for the first time since the 2010-11 Europa League group stage. However, they face a tough challenge against Sparta Rotterdam, who defeated them 1-0 at home recently.

Sparta Rotterdam has been in good form, winning six of their last eight Eredivisie matches. This strong finish helped them secure a place in the top eight, although they finished two places lower than the previous season.

In their recent victory over Heerenveen, Camiel Neghli and Tobias Lauritsen scored for Sparta, securing a 2-1 win. Sparta has performed well away from home, earning 26 of their 49 points on the road. They have also won their last two visits to Utrecht and will be confident of extending that streak as they push for European qualification for the first time since the 1985-86 UEFA Cup.
