Team Form

Go Ahead Eagles' last five results: 1-1 draw at NEC Nijmegen (Sep 20), 1-1 home draw vs Groningen (Sep 12), 3-3 away draw at Utrecht (Sep 8), 3-3 away draw at Utrecht (Sep 5), and a 5-2 away loss to AZ Alkmaar (Aug 29).

They are unbeaten at De Adelaarshorst and have netted 15 goals in 6 league games overall.

Sparta Rotterdam's last five: 0-4 home loss to Heerenveen (Sep 19), 4-1 away loss to PSV Eindhoven (Sep 13), 2-2 home draw vs Zwolle (Sep 4), 2-1 away loss to SBV Excelsior (Aug 29), and 3-3 home draw vs Utrecht (Aug 22). Two draws and three defeats, with the team conceding 13 goals in those five matches. Their away form has been particularly poor, failing to win any of their last three road games.

Head-to-Head Record

The overall head-to-head record shows 5 wins for Go Ahead Eagles, 7 for Sparta Rotterdam, and 7 draws in 19 meetings. The most recent league clash on May 3, 2026, ended 2-2. In the last five encounters, both teams have won once each, with three draws. Notably, Sparta Rotterdam won 3-0 at this venue in August 2025, but Go Ahead Eagles won the home fixture 1-0 in February 2025.

League Table Positions

Go Ahead Eagles are 9th in the Eredivisie with 9 points from 6 games (2 wins, 3 draws, 1 loss). They are 5th in the home table, unbeaten with 7 points from 3 matches. Sparta Rotterdam are outside the top 12, reflecting a poor start. Their away form is not among the top eight, which further tilts the balance in favour of the home side.

Win Probability: Go Ahead Eagles or Sparta Rotterdam?

We calculated the win probabilities by starting with the bookmaker odds (home 1.80, draw 2.42, away 3.70) and adjusting for home advantage, league position, and recent form. The implied probabilities from the odds were 44.85% for a home win, 33.35% for a draw, and 21.81% for an away win after removing the bookmaker margin. We then adjusted these figures based on Go Ahead Eagles' strong home performances (unbeaten, 8 goals scored, 3 conceded) and Sparta Rotterdam's poor away record. The result: Go Ahead Eagles 48%, Draw 30%, Sparta Rotterdam 22%. A draw has occurred in four of Go Ahead's last five matches, so the 30% probability reflects that trend, but the home side's overall quality gives them the edge.

Odds & Match Prediction

Bookmakers see Go Ahead Eagles as clear favourites, offering odds between 1.73 and 1.80 for a home victory. The best odds of 1.80 imply a 55.6% chance before the margin is removed. The draw is priced at 2.42–2.62, and an away win for Sparta Rotterdam at 3.60–3.70. Based on the stats, Go Ahead Eagles are expected to win, but a low-scoring draw cannot be ruled out. Our prediction: Go Ahead Eagles to edge it, possibly by a one-goal margin.
