Our model predicts a 40% probability for Sparta Rotterdam to emerge victorious in this encounter.

Sparta Rotterdam host PEC Zwolle at Het Kasteel with both sides seeking greater consistency as the Eredivisie season enters Matchday 26. Sparta currently occupy seventh place with 37 points from 25 matches, while Zwolle sit 13th with 28 points as they aim to maintain distance from the relegation battle.

Sparta come into the match after a 2–1 away defeat in their most recent league outing, extending a mixed run of form that reads two defeats, two draws and one victory from their last five matches. Despite those results, Sparta remain competitive in the race for the European play-off places and have shown defensive resilience throughout the campaign.

Zwolle’s latest league match ended in a 0–0 draw at home, part of a recent stretch that has seen them struggle to turn performances into victories. Henry van der Vegt’s side have collected two draws, two defeats and one win from their last five matches, leaving them searching for momentum in the lower half of the table.

Recent meetings slightly favour Zwolle. The most recent encounter in November 2025 ended in a 1–0 victory for Zwolle, and the visitors have won three of the last five meetings between the sides. Nevertheless, Sparta will hope home advantage at Het Kasteel helps them reverse that trend.
