Competition: Netherlands Eredivisie

Match begins: 12:30 (UTC)
Venue: Sparta-Stadion Het Kasteel (11026 seats)

With the edgy opening match out of the way it’s time for the second Eredivisie battle of the season. Sparta Rotterdam are eager to welcome Feyenoord in front of their home support.

8-0-0 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Feyenoord when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those eight matches are 19-3 (scored/conceded).

This is a local fight, usually meaning increased stress and significance.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
