Sparta Rotterdam vs Feyenoord Prediction and Betting Tips
Sparta Rotterdam host Feyenoord at the Sparta Stadion on Sunday (August 20) on matchday two of the Dutch Eredivisie, looking to build on their opening-day win.
The Castle Lords began their new top-flight campaign with a 2-1 defeat of PEC Zwolle last weekend. An own goal from Sam Kersten in the first half coupled with a strike from Tobias Lauritsen put them 2-0 up before Lennart Thy pulled one back for Zwolle, which was too little too late. With three point, Sparta are seventh in the Eredivisie.
