Both teams show high attacking productivity coupled with consistent defensive frailties. Sparta Rotterdam have not kept a clean sheet this season, conceding an average of two goals per home match while scoring 1.7. All five of Sparta's most recent matches have seen both sides find the net.
Heerenveen have followed an identical trend on their travels, scoring four goals and conceding four in their two away fixtures, which both finished in 2-2 draws. With key defensive personnel sidelined for the visitors and Sparta's attack scoring consistently at home, conditions heavily favor both teams getting on the scoresheet.
