Utrecht suffered a 2-0 loss in their last game against Twente, in a match they failed to get a shot on target. However, prior to this loss, they were unbeaten in five straight games. Cathedral citizens are unbeaten in eight of their last ten games and have won each of their last three games. They sit 4th on the table with 62 points in 32 games, scoring 61 goals and conceding 44. With two games remaining in the season, Utrecht will face Sittard in their last game of the season. They have booked a slot in Europe for next season but they need to win all these games to have a chance of playing in the UEFA Champions League next season.

Sparta Rotterdam: form and statistics
Sparta Rotterdam bounced back to winning ways with a 3-0 win over Almere City in their last game. Prior to this win, they were winless in back-to-back games. Regardless, they remain unbeaten in nine of their last ten games, and their away records have been exceptional, with five unbeaten runs in their last five games on the road. The Red-White Gladiators sit 10th on the table with 38 points in 32 games, scoring 37 goals and conceding 39. They sit just one position outside the continental qualification place and six maximum points for them in their remaining games of the season could send them to UEFA qualification contention. The Castle Lords will battle PSV in their last game of the season. It must be noted that the Lightbulbs are still in contention for the league and it will be hard for the visitors to win.
Sparta Rotterdam: Lineup
Maurice Steijn will continue to be without Shunsuke Mito and Patrick van Aanholt for this game. However, Nick Olij is expected to retain his place in the goalpost, and the attacking trio of Mitchell Van Bergen, Tobias Lauritsen, and Shunsuke Mito are expected to lead the line.

Utrecht vs Sparta Rotterdam match prediction 14 May 2025
Both Utrecht and Sparta Rotterdam are exceptional at the moment but the visitors have never had it easy playing against Utrecht.
