Preview: Feyenoord vs. Sparta Rotterdam - prediction, team news, lineups

Sports Mole previews Sunday's Eredivisie clash between Feyenoord and Sparta Rotterdam, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

Gameweek six of the 2022-23 Eredivisie season concludes with the Rotterdam derby between Feyenoord and Sparta Rotterdam at De Kuip on Sunday evening.

The teams were both victorious in their last league outings and will head into this weekend's encounter in Rotterdam with the wind in their sails.

Feyenoord got their Europa League group-stage campaign underway with a disappointing 4-2 defeat against Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico on Thursday.

Arne Slot's men found themselves four goals down thanks to first-half strikes from Luis Alberto and Felipe Anderson and a Matias Vecino brace before a second-half double from Santiago Gimenez halved the deficit.

Prior to that, De Stadionclub came out on top in a 4-3 thriller against Go Ahead Eagles on Saturday to move up to second place in the league table.

Awaiting them next is the challenge of an opposing outfit who are without a victory in the last nine meetings between the teams, losing seven of them.

Ahead of a tantalising clash against PSV Eindhoven next weekend, Sunday's hosts will be seeking to set the tone with a dominant display in this one.

Sparta Rotterdam secured back to back wins for the first time this term following a 4-0 victory over FC Volendam at the Sparta Stadion Het Kasteel on Saturday.

Maurice Steijn's men took the lead through Vito van Crooy in the 14th minute before a second-half brace from Tobias Lauritsen and Sven Mijnans's strike put the game to bed.

With seven points picked up from a possible 15 so far, De Kasteelheren have moved up to seventh place in the league standings and now seek to continue their surge up the table.

Off the back of six wins and a draw in their last seven outings on the road, Sunday's visitors set out to continue their upturn in form away from home.

Team News

With three goals in his last two games for Sparta Rotterdam, 25-year-old Tobias Lauritsen is definitely one to keep an eye on here.

Tim Coremans will not play any part in this one as the goalkeeper continues to battle with a shoulder problem which has kept him out since July.

Feyenoord's Lutsharel Geertruida has missed the last two games with Mononucleosis, and the Dutchman is a guaranteed absentee for this weekend's hosts.

Having come off the bench to score in back to back matches, Santiago Gimenez could be rewarded with a place in the starting lineup.

Feyenoord possible starting lineup:
Bijlow; Hartman, Hancko, Trauner, Pedersen; Szymanski, Kokcu, Timber; Dilrosun, Danilo, Gimenez

Sparta Rotterdam possible starting lineup:
Olij; Sambo, Vriends, Eerdhuijzen, Pinto; Verschueren, De Guzman, Kitolano; Namli, Lauritsen, Van Crooy
