Zwolle - Sparta Rotterdam 13.08.2016 / Holland
Zwolle is a typical home team, they play on artificial turf. First
round against Nec Nijmegen in away game they play a very good first half
with a lot of chances. They forget to score goals with all their
chances. Second half was much less, but overall they deserved more than a
1-1 draw. Important midfielder Saymak is injuried, but important
midfielder Thomas expect to start, he is finally fit and can play around
a hour. Rightback Van Polen doubtfull, but he can probably play.
Expected XI: Van der Hart, Van Polen, Marcellis, Van de Pavert, Verdonk,
Brama, Thomas, Ehizibue, Menig, Mokhtar, Achahbar.
I rate Zwolle as a very good team, I see them finishing as sixth or
seventh place this season. Further, coach Jans is one of best coach in
holland imo.
Sparta Rotterdam, newcomer in the eredivisie. I think they shall
struggle against regelation. Verhaar, Dumfries and Sanusi are their best
players. Verhaal is back from a injury, but it is insecure if he shall
beginning from the start. Sparta play very defensive against Ajax in
first league round. They shall also play defensive against Zwolle, but
not thát defensive. Against Ajax, players as Breuer and Dougall play.
Breuer is their captain, he have a lot of experience but I think he is
too old for this level. He is very slow. Dougall was the left defender
last year, he was the weakest/less good one player from Sparta last
year. Against Ajax Dougall plays as defensive midfielder, I dont know if
he plays against Zwolle. Their new players, Pinteaux, El Azzouzi and
Ruiz were nothing special against Ajax, of course it is difficult if you
play against Ajax. Van Moorsel is still injuried for Sparta, he was the
number 10 last year, he has a lot of creativity.
