Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Kras Stadion will host Sunday’s Eredivisie game between FC Volendam and Fortuna Sittard, the two bottom-table sides. Volendam are desperate to escape the relegation zone and they have no other option but to fight tooth and nail against die Fortunezen. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team, but both Joey Antonioli and Koen Blommestijn are major doubts.
The visitors, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing to both NEC Nijmegen and Sparta Rotterdam in the previous two league matches and given the importance of Sunday’s clash for the home side, we predict that Danny Buijs’ men are going to return home with their hands empty. To make things even more difficult for the visiting side, midfielder Deroy Duarte is on international duty. Defender Siemen Voet is pushing for a start after coming as a substitute in the 2-0 loss to Sparta Rotterdam.

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.
