Fortuna Sittard

DWLDLL

After tasting defeat last time out to Feyenoord in Eredivisie action, Fortuna Sittard and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

In that game, Fortuna Sittard managed 41% possession and 14 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. For their opponents, Feyenoord had 10 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. Dávid Hancko (18') scored for Feyenoord.

The stats tell the story, and Fortuna Sittard have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 matches, conceding 11 goals overall. Defensively, Fortuna Sittard have clearly had some problems. That sort of trend won’t necessarily be carried forward into this next game, though.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Fortuna Sittard:

• remain undefeated by Vitesse in games played away from home for the previous 2 league matches.
• are without an away win for the past 3 matches in the league.

ℹ️ Team News: Vitesse

Davy Pröpper (Cruciate ligament injury), Marco van Ginkel (Ankle injury), Mexx Meerdink (Knee injury), Miliano Jonathans (Knee injury) and Fodé Fofana (Knee injury) won’t be able to feature for Vitesse boss Edward Sturing.

We think that Vitas should use a 4-3-3 system for the game with Eloy Room, Carlens Arcus, Nicolas Isimat-Mirin, Ramon Hendriks, Enzo Cornelisse, Melle Meulensteen, Paxten Aaronson, Mathijs Tielemans, Anis Hadj Moussa, Thomas Buitink and Amine Boutrah.

ℹ️ Team News: Fortuna Sittard

Out of a mainly available squad, there’s just the lone fitness worry for the Fortuna Sittard manager Danny Buijs to contend with. Arianit Ferati (unknown injury) won’t be in action. Ivo Pinto will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

There’s a good chance that Fortuna Sittard seem most likely to begin the game with a 3-2-4-1 system using Michael Verrips, Sadik Fofana, Dimitris Siovas, Siemen Voet, Nathangelo Markelo, Mitchell Dijks, Justin Lonwijk, Oguzhan Ozyakup, Deroy Duarte, Inigo Cordoba and Kaj Sierhuis.

🧠 Prediction

We’re of the view that Vitesse may not find it easy to hit the back of the net against this Fortuna Sittard side who we think will be able to grind out a win.

Therefore, we predict a good battle with a 0-1 win for Fortuna Sittard at the end of the 90 minutes.
