Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Sparta Rotterdam
Match Time & Date:
19 September 2025
19:00
Prediction: 1-1
Twente
Buoyed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over Excelsior in the Rotterdam derby, Sparta Rotterdam will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Twente on Matchday 6. The Rotterdammers have won three of their last four league matches and they are surely capable of matching Twente on home soil. Talented forward Ayoub Oufkir is pushing for a start after scoring the winner against Excelsior, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Reds, on the other hand, head into the match following a 2-2 draw with NAC Breda. Twente are not regarded as good travellers and given Sparta’s fine form, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing more than one point from Friday’s encounter. Summer signing Marko Pjaca is widely expected to make his full Twente debut after scoring off the bench against Breda.
Highlighted Team (Sparta Rotterdam):
Founded back on April 1, 1888, Sparta Rotterdam is considered one of the oldest clubs in the Netherlands. De Kasteelheren (the Castle Lords) welcome their opponents at Het Kasteel, and they have a great rivalry with Feyenoord. Yet another Rotterdam club Excelsior are considered Sparta’s fierce rivals as well.
Sparta Rotterdam wear white shirts with red strips when playing on home soil, while sky blue is the dominant colour of their away kit. De Kasteelheren have won six Eredivisie trophies. Sparta were the dominant force in the Dutch football in the 1910s, with the team winning their last league title in the 1958/59 season.
De Kasteelheren have won three Dutch Cup trophies as well (1957/58, 1961/62, 1965/66). In the 1985/86 season Sparta last participated in the UEFA Cup, with the team beating Hamburger SC in round 1, while suffering elimination to Borussia Monchengladbach in the second round. Sparta’s stadium Het Kasteel can hold up to 11,926 spectators.
