Your Web 3 Guru and Moonbet presenting todays match: Feyenoord Rotterdam – Sparta Rotterdam.
The Rotterdam derby between Feyenoord and Sparta on Sunday evening marks a captivating conclusion to the Eredivisie weekend. Feyenoord holds a commanding second place in the league standings, while their counterpart, Sparta, also began this round in a respectable top-half position, sitting ninth. Feyenoord has boasted an impressive average of 2.3 points per game across their first 20 rounds, exactly one point per game more than Sparta.
Despite missing several key players due to international duties in the Asian Cup and Africa Cup of Nations, Feyenoord navigated through their first series of six official matches in the new year admirably. Their journey to the KNVB Cup semi-finals was marked by home victories over PSV (1-0) and AZ Alkmaar (2-0), alongside securing eight points from their four Eredivisie fixtures. Particularly noteworthy was their hard-fought away triumph against AZ.
However, since their away victory over Fortuna Sittard on January 13th, Sparta Rotterdam has stumbled against similarly ranked opponents. Home defeats to Go Ahead Eagles (2-0) and PEC Zwolle (2-0), sandwiched between a draw against RKC Waalwijk (1-1), have seen Sparta relinquish their place in the European play-offs, with Zwolle overtaking them in the standings.
The previous encounter between these two sides ended in a 2-2 draw at Het Kasteel. Playing the return leg at home may not be a critical disadvantage for Sparta, as they have earned 17 of their 26 league points on the road, boasting a positive goal difference of +5. However, they have yet to defeat a team ranked higher than Zwolle. Notably, in their last six away Eredivisie matches, they only suffered defeat at the hands of Ajax (W3, D2). Next weekend, they’ll face another city derby against Excelsior Rotterdam.
Keep an eye on Ayase Ueda (G1), who has returned to Feyenoord following his impressive performances in the Asian Cup for Japan. For the visitors, Joshua Kitolano (G5, A2) stands out, having scored the crucial goal in Sparta’s recent away match against RKC Waalwijk.
An intriguing statistic: In the last ten head-to-head encounters, the home side emerged victorious on eight occasions, with Sparta failing to score in six of those matches at De Kuip.
