Prediction: 1-1
Sittard
Cambuur will look to put an end to their three-match losing run when they take on Fortuna Sittard on Saturday evening. Cambuur do not seem to be at the top of their game, but they will not have a better chance than this to get back on course. Forward Roberts Uldrikis continues to miss out, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team. Fortuna, on the other hand, are still fighting hard to secure the Eredivisie survival.
The visitors did well to beat both Heerenveen and Groningen in the previous two league fixtures, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence. Fortuna Sittard aim to give fans yet another reason for celebration, and seeing that they will go for a win as well, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Midfielder Arianit Ferati is injured for the visitors.

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.
