Willem II have found life back in the Eredivisie tough, losing five of their first seven matches. Three of those losses came by three or more goals, including a 5-1 defeat at Ajax and 4-1 reverses against both GO Ahead Eagles and NEC Nijmegen.

Both sides have been leaking goals regularly this season, so goals at either end wouldn't be a surprise.

Comparative Team Statistics: Sparta Rotterdam vs Willem II

A history that favours Willem II

Looking back over previous meetings, Willem II have generally had the better of this fixture, including a 5-1 win in a cup tie against Sparta as recently as December 2025.

That record stretches back several seasons and across different competitions, though, and it doesn't tell us much about either side's current form now that Willem II are back in the Eredivisie.

Where they sit in the table

Sparta are 12th with five points from seven games, while Willem II prop up the table on just two points from the same number of matches.

It's early days, but Willem II's return of six goals for and twenty against paints a tough picture for a newly promoted side finding its feet.

Key men to watch

Sparta's M. Zonneveld has been their main source of goals with four in seven league appearances, and B. Kuipers has chipped in with three assists.
