Sparta is fighting for its European ambitions after a setback

As the Eredivisie run-in enters its final four matchdays, the race for Europe and the relegation battle is heating up. A crucial encounter sees Telstar host Sparta Rotterdam on Wednesday. Our how to watch Telstar vs Sparta Rotterdam guide helps you watch the game, know the lineups, and more.

Just over a month ago, when Telstar thumped runaway league leaders PSV Eindhoven 3-1, many believed it was the start of their run to safety. But they followed that monumental result with two defeats against Groningen and Utrecht. It leaves them in the 16th spot in the Eredivisie table with 27 points. They are a point adrift of Excelsio and Volendam in the safe zone with 28 points. If Anthony Correia can guide his side to a victory, they can have hopes of extending their return to the top-flight after 40 years.

Sparta Rotterdam, too, knows a thing or two about missed chances. With teams around them dropping points, all they had to do was win their game to move to seventh in the table with 45 points. But the Rotterdam side, which has the highest clean sheets this season (11), fell to a 2-0 defeat against PSV. However, De Kasteeleheren are without an away victory in five games. Despite the shortcomings, Maurice Steijn's side can still move to seventh position with a victory on Wednesday.
