Fortuna Sittard Prediction
Fortuna Sittard sit in 14th place on the Eredivisie league ladder and just two points above Groningen who occupy the relegation play-off spot ahead of their encounter with high-flying Vitesse at their Fortuna Sittard Stadion.
Overall, the hosts have managed to record just one league win from their last five matches in the Eredivisie which was a surprising 2-0 win away at 3rd placed Feyenoord, but recent defeats to Heerenveen, AZ Alkmaar and De Graafschap, the latter being a heavy 5-1 defeat away form home, has meant that Fortuna Sittard remain in the lower reaches of the division.
However, all is not lost for the hosts who possess a home record of 3-3-3 15/13 which at first glance doesn’t appear to be too impressive, but dig a bit deeper and you’ll find that Fortuna Sittard have made significant improvements at home in recent times.
The hosts have suffered just one defeat from their last five at home but have registered three wins over De Graafschap 3-1, PEC Zwolle 3-0 and Heracles 3-0 along with a point against Groningen in a 0-0 draw.
Key-Facts – Fortuna Sittard v Vitesse
- Fortuna Sittard have lost just 1 from their last 5 home matches
- Vitesse have won just 1 of their last 6 matches away from home
- Vitesse have the joint worst away record of the top 7 clubs in Eredivisie
Vitesse Prediction
Vitesse maintained their claims for a Europa League qualifying spot last time out when they registered a 3-2 home win over Excelsior which extended their unbeaten run to three matches which also includes a previous win over VVVenlo 2-1 at home.
The visitors come into this clash having lost just once in their last seven matches overall in the Dutch top flight, but much of their success so far this season can be attributed to their solid home record which has seen them lose just once but register 6 of their 8 wins this term at their GelreDome.
However, the visitors have tended not to travel too well in the Eredivisie in this campaign as an away record of 2-3-4 10/11 indicates, and this includes just one win on the road from their last six, which was a 3-1 win at mid-table Willem II.
Betting Tips Verdict
Fortuna Sittard have made big improvements at home lately and I’ll back them with the handicap here.
