Match begins: 11:15 (UTC)
Venue: Sparta-Stadion Het Kasteel (11026 seats)

Both Sparta Rotterdam and Feyenoord are yearning for points in this match, despite the away side having a 12 point lead so far.

Insights:
  • Sparta Rotterdam is in the worst form (0-3-3)
  • Feyenoord have the most points from losing position (7) in Eredivisie

These are hustling days for the host team, as they were in action only four days ago in the KNVB Beker. That game was an away game at GVVV, so at least Rotterdam are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

This stadium has the surface artifical turf, unlike Feyenoord's home arena. The former twelve games by the visitors on artifical turf have resulted in 7 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses.

There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.

Sparta Rotterdam form and stats

1-3-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Eredivisie numbers at home for Sparta Rotterdam, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) in Eredivisie, so far this season.

Rotterdam enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at GVVV's place. The match ended 2-0 with V. van Crooij and M. Engels scoring.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting RKC Waalwijk (0-1).

Rotterdam are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 6 goals in 5 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Sparta Rotterdam defense is not exactly impregnable. 8 goals conceded from 5 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Feyenoord form and stats

3 wins, 0 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Feyenoord, who have the most scored goals (13) away in Eredivisie, playing as the away team in the Eredivisie this season.

Feyenoord play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-2 victory visiting SC Cambuur (placed 12th). Midfield player Orkun Kökçü was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.82/10. Kökçü served one assist, hit three key passes and had 51 successful passes (of 60 total).

A home win before that, celebrating 3-1 vs Union Berlin.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Feyenoord manager A. Slot as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Union Berlin.

Feyenoord are a potent attacking force on the road with their 13 goals in 5 league games. As opposed to that, Feyenoord have seen the ball go into their own net 7 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Sparta Rotterdam-Feyenoord H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Rotterdam one win, Feyenoord seven wins, two draws. five of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
