Sparta Rotterdam – FC Emmen
“The battle of the Dicks” will be decided today as Dick Advocaat of Sparta Rotterdam faces off against Dick Lukkien of FC Emmen. This is the second leg of a two-legged playoff round deciding who will play in the Eredivisie next season.
The first leg ended in a 0-0 draw in Emmen and Sparta should be the favorites here considering six of their seven wins this season came at Het Kaste (the Castle). The home side is looking at Robert Mühren to bring them goals and the 29 year old striker looks to have hit some form late in the season, scoring two in his last three games for the club. 18-year old Deroy Duarte is another player who has showed some promise of late and could well find himself on the scoresheet here.
FC Emmen are looking to be promoted to the top division of Dutch football for the very first time. They have actually been in the play-offs no less than 11 times, but never managed to make it to the top tier. With that history hanging over them and with the experience of Dick Advocaat, the visitors could be in for another heart break.
We ultimately believe that home field advantage will be the deciding factor.
