Volendam vs Sparta Rotterdam Prediction and Betting Tips | 21st December 2025

FC Volendam host Sparta Rotterdam at the Kras Stadion on Sunday in the 2025-26 Eredivisie, looking to end their losing streak in the competition. Since the 1-1 draw to Twente on 22 November, the Other Oranje have lost three in a row.

PSV Eindhoven beat them 3-0 before NEC outmaneuvered Volendam in a 3-2 victory. Groningen then piled further misery by inflicting a 3-0 defeat.

Following such a slump in form, Rick Kruys' side are down in 15th place in the league standings with 14 points in 16 games. Only NAC Breda (13 points) and Telstar (12 points) have fared worse than Volendam in the Dutch top flight this season.

But in what could be a turning point for them, the Palingboeren beat Genemuiden 2-0 in the second round of the KNVB Cup this week. Aurelio Oehlers and Handrik Veerman struck in extra time to send them into the next round of the cup.

Sparta Rotterdam are up in 10th place with 20 points from 16 games and were most recently beaten 3-0 by Heerenveen at home. Jacob Trenskow fired the visitors in front after 25 minutes before Vasilios Zagaritis then doubled their advantage early in the second half. Said Bakari then struck an own goal, putting the final nail in Rotterdam's coffin.

But on Thursday, they also came away victorious in the domestic cup, beating Willem II 5-1 on the road for a big pep in their step as De Kasteelheren now look to channel that momentum in the league.
