Sparta Rotterdam v Go Ahead Eagles: mid-table rivals eye late play-off push | OneFootball

Sparta Rotterdam host Go Ahead Eagles in the Eredivisie on Sunday, 3 May 2026 at Sparta-Stadion Het Kasteel, with both sides looking to edge closer to the qualification play-off places.

Sparta Rotterdam won 3-0 in Deventer in August and arrive 10th on 42 points, while Go Ahead Eagles sit 11th on 37. The hosts carry a negative goal difference, but the visitors remain within sight after recent heavy home wins.

Sparta Rotterdam have one win in their last five league games after defeats at Ajax and Telstar and a draw at NAC Breda. The Supereagles, by contrast, hit six past NAC Breda and five against PEC Zwolle in recent home wins and come in off back to back clean sheets against Groningen and AZ.

Sparta Rotterdam are without defender Mike Kleijn. The Supereagles list defenders Gerrit Nauber and Pim Saathof, plus midfielder Robbin Weijenberg, as injured.

Sparta Rotterdam average 1.2 goals per game with 79.58% passing accuracy and could lean on Tobias Lauritsen, who has 11 league goals and 14 goal involvements this season. The Supereagles score at 1.6 per game, boasting 58.91% shooting accuracy and 19.20% cross accuracy, with Mathis Suray on 11 league goals and creators Jakob Breum and Victor Edvardsen supplying five assists each.

A home win would take Sparta Rotterdam to 45 points and could pull them towards the qualification play-offs. Victory for the Supereagles would lift them to 40 points and cut the gap to the hosts to two, keeping them firmly in mid-table with a late push still possible.
