Preview
Sparta and Utrecht face at Sparta‑Stadion Het Kasteel, in a match for the 2nd round of the Eredivisie. The head‑to‑head record at this stadium favours the away team, since in the last 6 head‑to‑heads they won 5 and tied 1. Accordingly, in the last head‑to‑head played at this stadium, for the Eredivisie, on 03‑11‑2024, FC Utrecht won by (1‑4). Tobias Lauritsen (90' ) scored for Sparta and Miguel Rodríguez (85' ), Mike van der Hoorn (90' ), Victor Jensen (15' ) and Paxten Aaronson (88' ) for Utrecht. Sparta registers significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth special attention.

Analysis Sparta

The home team comes to this 2nd round after having lost (6‑1) in the 1st round, in a match against PSV. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 23 goals scored and 20 conceded; against 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 19 goals scored and 22 conceded. Sparta has won 4, tied 2 and lost 4 of the last 10 home matches. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, as 16 of the last 17 have ended with Over 1,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 4 of their 15 matches, and have never been able to turn the score around.

Sparta Rotterdam had a debut to forget, being thrashed 6-1 by PSV, a result that exposed defensive weaknesses that need to be rectified quickly. Now, playing at home, they are looking for a positive response to erase the initial bad impression. The team will have to be more cautious, prioritising defensive solidity and exploiting opportunities on the counter-attack. Their strength in front of their home fans could be an important factor in trying to level the playing field and pick up points.

Confirmed Lineup: Joël Drommel, Marvin Young, Saïd Bakari, Patrick van Aanholt, Bruno Martins Indi, Pelle Clement, Jens Toornstra, Joshua Kitolano, Tobias Lauritsen, Sayfallah Ltaief, Shunsuke Mito.
Coach: H. Fraser.

Analysis Utrecht

The away team comes to this 2nd round after a (4‑0) win in their league debut, against Heracles Almelo. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses in away matches, with 34 goals scored and 20 conceded; against 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 29 goals scored and 19 conceded. In their last match, for the UEFA Europa League, they got a home win against Servette by (2‑1). In the last 10 away matches Utrecht has won 4, tied 3 and lost 3. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 22 of the last 24 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals and 18 out of 24 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 6 times but have turned the score around in 2. In the last 3 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 3 of their 6 goals between minutes (46'‑60').

Utrecht started the Dutch league on the right foot with a 4-0 thrashing of Heracles Almelo. In addition, they'll be coming into the game with more pace due to the Europa League, which could be a plus in terms of familiarity and intensity. Even when playing as visitors, they must maintain an attacking stance, seeking to control possession and create clear chances. The aim is to capitalise on the good momentum to pick up another win and stay in the top three.

Confirmed Lineup: Michael Brouwer, Mike van der Hoorn, Souffian El Karouani, Nick Viergever , Siebe Horemans, Victor Jensen, Gjivai Zechiël, Alonzo Engwanda, D. de Wit, Miguel Rodríguez, Adrian Blake.
Coach: H. Fraser.
