Sparta Rotterdam and AFC Ajax Amsterdam will battle for three points in an Eredivisie matchday 10 clash on Sunday (October 25th). The game will be played at Sparta Stadion Het Kasteel.

The home side are coming into the game on the back of a 3-2 comeback home win over Willem II. They went behind to Tonny Vilhena’s 17th-minute strike, but Jens Toornstra equalized in the 39th minute. Lushendry Martes and Milan Zonneveld scored to make it 3-1 by the 57th minute, while Uriel van Aalst pulled one back midway through the second half.

Ajax, meanwhile, saw off Atalanta with a hard-fought 2-0 home win in the UEFA Conference League. The game was seemingly destined to end in a goalless stalemate, but Nigerian forward Tolu Arokodare stepped off the bench to break the deadlock in the 87th minute, while Abdellah Ouazane made sure of the victory in injury time.

The capital side will shift their focus to the domestic scene, where their last game saw them claim a 5-2 away win over Groningen.
