Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
MAC³PARK Stadion will host Sunday’s Eredivisie game between Zwolle and Fortuna Sittard, the two teams who are almost level on points in the standings ahead of Matchday 11. Zwolle head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Vitesse, but it has to be noted that they were more than fortunate to grab something from the match, with the Vitas having no fewer than 30 goal attempts. Midfielder Samir Lagsir is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
Fortuna Sittard, on the other hand, have been struggling to find their form of late, with the team collecting only one point in total from the last five league matches. Anyhow, a close encounter is on the horizon as the two teams seem to be evenly matched at the moment. There are no fresh injury worries for the away team ahead of the trip to the province of Overijssel.
Highlighted Team (Sittard):
Fortuna Sittard is one of the newer additions to Dutch football as the club was founded on July 1, 1968. During the 1990s talented footballers such as Kevin Hofland, Mark van Bommel, and Fernando Ricksen played for the club, but they failed to close the gap between Dutch giants Ajax and PSV. In 1999, though, the Fortunezen did well to make it to the Dutch Cup final, with the team facing Ajax in the title game.
Amsterdammers defeated Fortuna Sittard 2-0 at De Kuip, with Jesper Gronkjaer scoring a brace. Fortuna Sittard players wear yellow shirts and green shorts when playing at home, while their away kit is white. The Fortunezen host their rivals at Fortuna Sittard Stadion. The venue was built in 1999, and it can hold up to 12,500 spectators.
Aforementioned midfielder Mark Van Bommel is the most notable footballer who played for the club. After ending his spell with Fortuna Sittard in 1999, Mark van Bommel played for the likes of PSV, Barcelona, Bayern Munchen, and Milan.
