Utrecht vs Sparta Rotterdam Prediction: 22/5/2024

Following a 3-3 draw with AZ Alkmaar, Utrecht will look to get back to winning ways when they host Sparta Rotterdam in the first leg of the Conference League playoffs. Anthony Descotte, Tim Handwerker, and Kevin Gadellaa are expected to be absent due to injuries, while Danish forward Victor Jensen is likely to return to the starting lineup.

Sparta Rotterdam, meanwhile, aim to continue their momentum from consecutive victories over Utrecht and Heerenveen. While they hope to give their fans another reason to celebrate, securing a win against Utrecht away from home will be challenging. Considering all factors, a draw seems to be a likely outcome. For the visitors, Arno Veschueren and Django Warmerdam are out with injuries, and midfielder Joshua Kitolano is in a race against time to be fit for the match.

Prediction: 1-1
