📋 Team News: Fortuna Sittard

It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just one fitness concern for the Fortuna Sittard manager Danny Buijs to contend with due to a largely intact group of players. Arianit Ferati (unknown injury) is out of contention.

It’s our opinion that Fortuna Sittard could opt for a 5-3-2 formation for this one, utilising Michael Verrips, Siemen Voet, Sadik Fofana, Dimitris Siovas, Ivo Pinto, Mitchell Dijks, Oguzhan Ozyakup, Justin Lonwijk, Deroy Duarte, Kaj Sierhuis and Inigo Cordoba.

ℹ️ Team News: Feyenoord

Feyenoord boss Arne Slot has not got a full squad to pick from. Gjivai Zechiël (Knee injury) and Quilindschy Hartman (Cruciate ligament tear) miss out here.

It’s our belief that De club aan de Maas seem most likely to begin the game with a 4-3-3 system by sending out Timon Wellenreuther, Bart Nieuwkoop, Thomas Beelen, David Hancko, Lutsharel Geertruida, Calvin Stengs, Mats Wieffer, Quinten Timber, Yankuba Minteh, Santiago Gimenez and Igor Paixao.

💡 Prediction

In this game, Fortuna Sittard will likely be able to put a goal past this Feyenoord team, although one goal probably won’t quite be enough to give them the result that they want.

We are therefore anticipating a tight encounter finishing with a 1-2 winning margin for Feyenoord when the referee blows the final whistle. Let’s just see how this one goes.
