Go Ahead Eagles vs Sparta Rotterdam prediction

THE FORECAST

GO Ahead Eagles hold a clear advantage in league position and form (DDDLW vs LLDLD) and average significantly more goals per game (2.3 vs 1.4), while Sparta's defence has been leaking at 2.4 per game. Both sides have ample rest after the international break, so rotation risk is minimal for both. Sparta's new additions (Babadi, Brouwer) are still integrating, and their poor away form combined with GO Ahead's home support and Zonneveld's recent scoring streak tips the balance clearly towards the hosts.
