Eredivisie Round 1 brings a Rotterdam derby with a clear power gap. Sparta head into the season with one win from five friendlies, conceding seven goals in the process. Feyenoord, by contrast, won all five of their pre-season outings, scoring 16 and conceding just four - five injured players notwithstanding. The head-to-head record reinforces the picture: Sparta have kept zero clean sheets across the last five competitive meetings, losing three of them. Feyenoord scored 13 goals in those five fixtures against Sparta's five. The market has Feyenoord at 1.70 on the away DNB, which looks the cleanest route into this game. At 4.50, Sparta's win price reflects wishful thinking. Back Feyenoord DNB at 1.30 (bet365).
