Joseph Oosting will still do without Taylor Booth and Sam Lammers in this game due to injuries, but the team has players performing well in their absence. Lars Unnerstall will man the posts, and Bart van Rooij and Bas Kuipers will support both the attack and the defense from the side.

Sparta Rotterdam vs Twente match prediction 04 May 2025

This game is going to be a very tough one to decide the winner because the visitors are in a good position, which shows how good they have been since the start of the season. However, their recent run shows they are unreliable at the moment, and I would rather back the hosts here because of their recent form. However, I expect the hosts to see the back of the net in this clash.
