Excelsior vs Sparta Rotterdam Preview
Excelsior will be looking to recover from a 2-1 defeat to PSV when they face local rivals Sparta Rotterdam in an eagerly anticipated Rotterdam derby. The hosts were not in action at the weekend, giving them extra time to recover and prepare for this encounter. Excelsior have scored 2.1 goals per game across their last 10 matches and have failed to score only once in that run. Forward David Garden is likely to miss out through injury.
Sparta Rotterdam, meanwhile, come into the derby after an entertaining 3-3 draw with Utrecht, despite producing only 1.73 xG. Defensive problems remain a concern, with Sparta conceding an average of 2.0 goals per game in their last 10 matches. Their recent away form has also been inconsistent, while Milan Zonneveld is pushing for a starting berth after scoring as a substitute at the weekend. No fresh injury worries have been reported.
As BTTS landed in 79% of the last 14 H2H meetings, we are tempted to place our bets on Both Teams to Score, alongside Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals (57% of their recent H2H clashes produced at least three goals).
This Netherlands Eredivisie match will be played on Saturday, 29 August 2026 at 15:30.
