We said: Sparta Rotterdam 2-1 Heracles

A win in midweek for Heracles moved them a comfortable distance away from trouble, but it will be difficult to follow that up here, especially given their woeful away form. Sparta will be fully expecting to beat a side who have just eight away points this term, and that will see them reclaim a top-eight spot before Utrecht play on Sunday. Read more.
