Sparta Rotterdam - Feyenoord predictions

It’s hard to see even the most ardent of Sparta Rotterdam fans expect a victory here. As clear underdogs, even a draw against Feyenoord would be quite impressive, let alone an upset in the form of a home win.

The match is most likely to go in the away team’s favour, though it’s by no means a sure thing. With 1.86 betting odds to win, Feyenoord have the upper hand going in, but all three possible outcomes are possible.

What everyone expected to be a tightly-contested affair turned into a one-sided match as Sparta Rotterdam recorded a convincing Go Ahead Eagles away win in the last round of the Eredivisie. With an HT/FT victory like this in the bag, the hosts will be highly motivated ahead of Sunday.

The previous round of the competition saw this game’s visiting team drawn into a stalemate with Excelsior. Although playing at a home-field disadvantage, Eredivisie betting odds still saw Feyenoord as the clear favourites in that matchup, which makes the HT/FT draw a rather poor showing.

The hosts will be looking to cut down on the number of goals they concede. They’ve recorded more than 5 total concessions over the last 3 matches, which is usually a cause for concern.

Feyenoord are the favourites between these two teams, partly due to the way things ended the last time we saw them clash. In the previous season of the Eredivisie, Feyenoord got hold of a decisive victory that still marks them as the better team.

With no injuries reported on either side of the pitch, both coaches have their full rosters at their disposal. As such, the odds remain firmly in the visitors’ favour.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1.44 at 888Sport.
