  • Sparta won their season-opening Eredivisie match against PEC Zwolle (1-0) while Feyenoord played out a goalless draw against Fortuna Sittard at home.
  • When the sides last met Feyenoord ran out 3-1 winners at Het Kasteel last season. Igor Paixão, Santiago Giménez and Dávid Hancko were on target for the would-be Dutch champions. Michael Pinto scored Sparta's consolation goal.
