Command Analysis
Feyenoord
NetherlandsCurrent form
Before the start of the league stage, Feyenoord was considered a clear contender for a playoff spot – it was almost impossible to fight for a place in the top eight, but at the same time the selection of players allowed them to set the goal of being among the strongest 24 teams. Brian Priske team started with a crushing 0:4 defeat to Bayer at home, immediately finding themselves at the bottom of the table.
https://www.feyenoord.com/>Feyenoord stabilized the situation in the following matches – first they managed to beat Girona away with a score of 3:2, then there was a sensational 3:1 victory over Benfica in Lisbon. Against the backdrop of such results, the 1:3 home defeat to Salzburg looks like a failure, but the Rotterdam team rehabilitated it at the Etihad, snatching a 3:3 draw from Manchester City in the last round.
In the Dutch championship, Feyenoord could hardly set the maximum goals for itself, but the bet was definitely made on the second line and a ticket to the Champions League. At the moment, the Rotterdam team is not coping with its task, being only in the fourth line in the table - the leader PSV has already moved ahead by 10 points, the second Utrecht has three points more.

Sparta Prague
Czech RepublicCurrent form
Sparta, like its opponent today, did not have the opportunity to set too ambitious goals for itself, but with a certain amount of luck, Lars Friis' team could well have forced the competition to fight for a playoff spot. The Reds played their opening matches at a very high level and scored four points in the confrontation with Salzburg (3:0) and Stuttgart (1:1).
However, they failed to build on their success, and their first defeat was extremely painful – https://sparta.cz/>Sparta lost 0:5 to Manchester City at the Etihad. A big disappointment was the 1:2 home defeat to Brest – in this match, the Czech champions were clearly counting on all three points, but they failed to take a single one. Having lost 0:6 to Atletico in the last round, Sparta ended up in 28th place in the table.
In the Czech championship, Sparta was considered the clear and main favorite in the fight for the championship title before the start of the season, but its status does not justify it. With a high degree of probability, you can already forget about retaining the title - the "reds" are in third place and are already 16 points behind the leader Slavia, six points ahead of Viktoria - and they will have to fight for the "silver".
Disqualifications and injuries
Preciado, Garaslin, Danek, Tutsi, Vorel are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Sparta has suffered only one defeat in its last six matches
- Sparta have scored in eight of their last nine matches
- Sparta have not lost to Feyenoord in their last four matches - three wins and a draw
Approximate lineup: Vindal - Panak, Ross, Vitik - Vizner, Lyachi, Kairinen, Rynesh - Krasnichi, Rrahmani, Birmancevic.

Combined rate
Feyenoord will undoubtedly be in a very determined mood today and will not be satisfied with any result other than victory.
