Eredivisie
Last week, Sparta Rotterdam kicked off the new season in the Netherlands with a defeat, but it came against Feyenoord and was only by the narrow margin of 0:1. Despite the loss, Sparta showed good stability in defense. The same can be said for their next opponent, Telstar, who started the campaign with an impressive 2:1 victory away at NEC Nijmegen.
Both teams showed defensive stabilityNEC was the more active team and created more chances in the first round, but Telstar managed to defend well enough and secured the three points. Now I expect both teams to rely on defensive stability again and not see many goals. A similar trend is observed in their direct encounters, with five of the last six finishing with under 2.5 goals.
Prediction: Under 3.5 goalsThe performances of Sparta Rotterdam and Telstar in the first round suggest that both teams can be well organized defensively. The statistics from their direct meetings also point to low scoring. Under 2.5 goals seems like a logical option, but my prediction is for the safer limit of under 3.5 goals.
