Sparta overcame a 2-0 deficit to draw with 5th-placed Vitesse last time out.
Sparta boss Henk Fraser won seven of his nine meetings with RKC.
RKC are yet to win an away league game this season.
An opportunity for struggling Sparta

While Sparta Rotterdam are without a win in six games, the signs of life are there for the struggling outfit after they scored two goals on or beyond the 70′ mark last time out to claim a point against European participants Vitesse.

The hosts have won just once here this term, but that did come against another side within the immediate vicinity of the bottom-two, Sittard. As such, they can hope to pounce on what is a very poor travelling RKC Waalwijk outfit.

Encouragingly, Sparta boss Henk Fraser won seven of his last eight personal clashes with RKC, with five coming without reply from the visitors. To do so again will bring these sides level on points heading into 2022.

A tough trip for RKC

Though RKC have conceded only one more away goal than league leaders PSV ahead of this round, they are one of just three Eredivisie teams yet to win on the road. As such, it could be a tight margin should they fall yet again.

It has been over ten years since RKC last won in this part of Rotterdam (March 2011) but they did at least get on the scoresheet in three of the five following away H2H defeats.

All in all, I predict a very tight clash here in which Sparta will just come out on top of, with a slender 2-1 margin. The relegation battle will only heat up heading into 2022!

斯巴达在上一场比赛中以2比0战胜排名第五的维特斯队。
斯巴达的老板亨克弗雷泽赢得了他与RKC的9次会面中的7次。
RKC本赛季还没有赢得一场客场比赛。
这是挣扎中的斯巴达的一个机会

虽然鹿特丹斯巴达队已经六场比赛未取得胜利，但这支苦苦挣扎的队伍在上一场对阵欧洲选手维特斯队的比赛中，在70分以上射入两球并获得一分后，已经有了生命的迹象。

主队本赛季在这里只赢过一次，但这一次的对手是紧邻第二名的另一支球队——西塔尔。因此，他们可以寄望于RKC Waalwijk这款非常糟糕的旅行装备。

令人鼓舞的是，斯巴达主帅亨克弗雷泽在他与RKC的最近8场个人冲突中赢得了7场，其中5场没有得到客队的回应。再次这样做将使两方在2022年的积分水平持平。

对RKC来说，这是一次艰难的旅程

尽管RKC在这轮比赛中只比联赛领跑者埃因霍温多丢了一个球，但他们是英超仅有的三支尚未在客场取胜的球队之一。因此，如果它们再次下跌，利差可能会很窄。

RKC上一次在鹿特丹赢得比赛(2011年3月)已经是十多年前的事了，但他们至少在接下来的五场客场H2H比赛中有三场进入了积分榜。

总而言之，我预测这里将会有一场激烈的冲突，斯巴达将以2比1的微弱优势获胜。到2022年，保级之争只会愈演愈烈!
