Following on from being beaten in their last game against Vitesse in Eredivisie action, Excelsior and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

In that game, Excelsior had 46% possession and 12 attempts on goal with 7 on target. The scorer for Excelsior was Lance Duijvestijn (46'). For their opponents, Vitesse got 14 shots at goal with 5 on target. Paxten Aaronson (53') and Nicolas Isimat-Mirin (86') scored for Vitesse.

The numbers tell their own story, and Excelsior have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, letting opponents get 12 goals in all. At the back, Excelsior have seen their frailties exposed.

Leading up to this clash, Excelsior:

  • haven't beaten Fortuna Sittard when they've played them away from home in the last 7 matches in the league. Not good at all.
  • haven’t won away from home in the past 8 league games. Their travelling support will be needed here, for sure.

👥 Head to head

An examination of their most recent head to head clashes going back to 07/03/2014 shows us that Fortuna Sittard have won 2 of them and Excelsior 1, with the tally of drawn matches standing at 3.

A combined sum of 19 goals were scored between them throughout the course of those matches, with 10 of them from Sittard and 9 being from Roodzwarten. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 3.17.

The referee was Robin Hensgens.

ℹ️ Team News: Fortuna Sittard

The Fortuna Sittard manager Danny Buijs has no fitness concerns to speak of before this match owing to a completely injury-free group ready to go.

It seems likely that Fortuna Sittard will possibly use the 4-4-2 system for this game featuring Michael Verrips, Ivo Pinto, Rodrigo Guth, Dimitris Siovas, Mitchell Dijks, Justin Lonwijk, Arianit Ferati, Alen Halilovic, Ragnar Oratmangoen, Inigo Cordoba and Kaj Sierhuis.

📰 Team News: Excelsior

Excelsior manager Marinus Dijkhuizen has multiple availability issues to deal with. Kik Pierie (Foot injury), Lennard Hartjes (Knee injury) and Ian Smeulers (unknown injury) are those who can’t be considered.

There’s a good chance that Roodzwarten might play in a 4-4-2 lineup, choosing Stijn van Gassel, Siebe Horemans, Casper Widell, Siem de Moes, Arthur Zagre, Couhaib Driouech, Cisse Sandra, Julian Baas, Kenzo Goudmijn, Troy Parrott and Lance Duijvestijn.

🔮 Prediction

Our thinking is that Excelsior might have a difficult job to register a score against this Fortuna Sittard team who we reckon should get the win and a maybe even keep a clean sheet as well.

We’re therefore expecting a very competitive game with a 1-0 victory for Fortuna Sittard at the end of the 90 minutes.

Looking forward to watching this one unfold.
