Prediction: 2-1
Sparta Rotterdam
All eyes will be on De Kuip when Feyenoord and Sparta Rotterdam lock horns in the Rotterdam derby on Saturday evening. The hosts aim to recover from the Dutch Cup loss to PSV and they are seen as hot favourites to beat at their local rivals on home soil. All Jordan Lotomba, Justin Bijlow, Ramiz Zerrouki, Calvin Stengs, Chris-Kevin Nadje, and Neraysho Kasanwirjo continue to miss out with injuries for the home side.
Sparta, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over AZ Alkmaar and Groningen, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in the local derby. Given their four-game losing run to Feyenoord at De Kuip, we do not believe that the underdogs are capable of grabbing something from the match. Maurice Steijn should have a full squad to choose from for the Rotterdam derby.
Highlighted Team (Feyenoord):
Back in 1908 football club Wilhemina was founded in the pub De Vereeniging and they played their home games in blue-sleeved red shirts and white shorts. The club’s name was changed to Hillesluise in 1909 and soon they became RVV Celeritas.
Finally, in 1912 the club got a name SC Feijenoord. Feyenoord won their first Eredivisie trophy in 1924 and 75 years later they clinched their 14th domestic trophy, finishing the season 15 points clear of second-placed Willem II. De Trots van Zuid play their home games at De Kuip and the capacity of the venue is 51 117.
The club’s fiercest rivals are Ajax and the two teams face each other in der Klassieker. The likes of Craig Bellamy, Gerrard Fox, Wouter Bos and Raemon Sluiter are notable supporters of the club. It is well known that football legends Johan Cruyff, Ruud Gullit and Peter Houtman all played for Feyenoord in the past. De Trots van Zuid play their home games in red-white shirts and black shorts.
