Telstar will be looking to build on their impressive start to the Eredivisie campaign when they welcome Sparta Rotterdam in round two. As the two teams seem to be evenly matched ahead of Friday's clash, we predict a 1-1 draw. Henk Brugge’s men claimed a 2-1 victory over NEC Nijmegen last weekend and have plenty of reasons for optimism heading into this one. Telstar have won three of their last four home games, scoring 2.5 goals per match in that run. With a full squad available, Brugge is unlikely to make changes to the side that secured all three points in Nijmegen.
Sparta Rotterdam, meanwhile, are desperate to bounce back after a narrow 1-0 defeat to local rivals Feyenoord. Their recent form is a major concern, though, with just one victory across their last 10 matches. Even more worrying is their away record, as Sparta have failed to win any of their last four road games, scoring just once in the process. Julian Baas returns from suspension and should provide a welcome boost in midfield.
As Sparta have struggled badly in front of goal, especially away from home, we are tempted to bet on Under 2.5 goals, alongside Half-Time Draw and Draw.
This Netherlands Eredivisie match will be played on Friday 14 August 2026 at 19:00.
