Sparta Rotterdam

vs

Feyenoord Rotterdam

Preview

Sparta Rotterdam

• Sparta are in much better form than they were just a few weeks ago, when they were winning one and losing two across their previous five games.
• They have steadied the ship somewhat with two wins, two draws and one defeat in their next five, coming into this game on the back of a 3-2 away loss to Zulte-Waregem and back-to-back draws against Asteras Tripolis and MSV Duisburg.
• They have failed to win either of their last two against Feyenoord, but did pull off a 4-3 upset over the Rotterdam giants in the last head-to-head 6 months ago, so there is definitely some upset potential in this fixture.
• Sparta have won once at home in all competitions, drawn three times and lost once, so they are tough to break down but not quite ruthless enough.

Feyenoord Rotterdam

• Feyenoord are undefeated in their last 10 games in all competitions, winning seven and drawing three.
• Van Bronckhorst, who was appointed Feyenoord head coach on 17 June 2026, has implemented a width-heavy 4-3-3 system in which he is emphasizing a controlled build-up and, when he gets it, he is creating serious chances with his sharp flank combinations.
• Feyenoord will be looking to extend their five-game winning streak with a victory over Royal Charleroi SC (3-1) and a 2-1 extra-time win over Rayo Vallecano, both coming at De Kuip.
• Feyenoord's away form in all competitions is impressive with three wins and two draws in five trips, scoring 11 goals on the road at an average of 2.20 goals per away game.

Head-to-Head

• Sparta Rotterdam are winless in their last two home games against Feyenoord Rotterdam.
• Feyenoord Rotterdam have won three of the last five head-to-head meetings (D1, L1).
