Sparta Rotterdam vs AZ H2H Stats, Lineups and Live Stream

Preview

Sparta Rotterdam square off with AZ in the Eredivisie of Netherlands action on November 2. Kickoff is scheduled for 13:30 UTC.

The spotlight turns to the field where the upcoming match sees Sparta Rotterdam and AZ renew their battle, 9 months after the previous Eredivisie encounter which Sparta Rotterdam won 1-2. Sparta Rotterdam come into the match following a draw against Ajax last Saturday in the Eredivisie. They have several key matches to navigate before facing AZ though, including Telstar and Groningen in Eredivisie, fixtures that are likely to influence their form and fitness ahead of their clash with AZ. Correcting defensive vulnerabilities could be their ticket to improved performances, considering they have struggled to keep opponents from scoring, conceding in their last four home matches.

AZ enter the match on a positive note, having secured a victory over Telstar in their last outing. For all that, their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have been conceding goals for six consecutive matches now. Ahead of their clash with Sparta Rotterdam, AZ must first take on Utrecht and Ajax in Eredivisie and Slovan in UEFA Conference League, and the outcomes of these games may heavily influence their preparations for Sparta Rotterdam.

This Eredivisie encounter highlights the attacking players who have stood out for Sparta Rotterdam and AZ throughout the campaign, even in challenging moments. Sparta Rotterdam’s offensive unit, under Maurice Steijn’s guidance, has leaned on Tobias Lauritsen, their main scorer, and Patrick van Aanholt, as they continue to drive the team’s attacking efforts forward. Lauritsen has already scored four goals in Eredivisie this season, with van Aanholt leading their creative tally in the league with three assists. Adding further support are Joshua Kitolano, Sayfallah Ltaief and Pelle Clement, who have combined to deliver key goals and assists for the team.

Meanwhile, AZ’s top finisher Troy Parrott and Sven Mijnans have played important roles in ensuring their attack, carefully orchestrated by Maarten Martens, remains effective. Parrott has emerged as AZ’s leading scorer in Eredivisie this season, netting three goals, while Mijnans has been their leading creator in the competition with four assists. Mexx Meerdink, Ibrahim Sadiq and Denso Kasius have made their presence felt as well, chipping in with decisive contributions in attack.
