Sparta Rotterdam vs Feyenoord Match Preview

Sparta Rotterdam is ranked at 9th place with 18 points and comes in a decent form after three wins and two losses over the last five matches. They have created a nine points distance from the relegation zone and if they manage to keep going like this the situation should be good towards the rest of the season.

They have scored 24 goals so far and in the last five matches, they scored a total of nine goals averaging almost two goals per game. They managed to find the back of the net at least once on four occasions, failing to score only in the loss against strong PSV. At home, they have scored 16 goals in seven games averaging more than two goals per game and scored at least a goal in four of the last five derbies against Feyenoord.

Feyenoord, on the other hand, is ranked at 4th place with 29 points and comes after two wins two draws and a loss over the last five matches. They were the only team yet to lose a game before falling 1-0 against Vitesse but bounced back right after it winning 3-0 against Heerenveen.

They have scored 29 goals until now and in the last five matches scored a total of seven goals averaging more than a goal per game. Berghuis who has already netted ten goals for them was back from his injury, providing an assist in the last duel. Slowly they are regaining all the injured players and now only Kokcu and Teixeira will miss while Haps, Conteh and Bozenik are listed as doubtful.

In conclusion, I think both teams can score at least a goal today. Sparta Rotterdam always performs well in the local derbies against Feyenoord and being the host now there will be even more motivation for them. They scored in four of the last five home games against them while also winning on four occasions. Feyenoord is in need of a win as they try to enter the top two in order to aim for a spot in the UCL.
