Sittard vs AZ Prediction and Betting Tips 22 August 2026

Fortuna will try to claim a major scalp in round 3 when they take on AZ Alkmaar on Saturday afternoon. Fortuna Sittard made a promising start to the new season, holding PSV to a 2-2 draw before beating Cambuur 3-1. The hosts will be hoping to maintain that momentum despite injuries to Simons and Marquez. Fortuna have scored in each of their last five home games, while BTTS landed in 100% of those matches, suggesting another entertaining encounter could be on the cards.

AZ Alkmaar, meanwhile, are in excellent form after back-to-back wins over Den Haag (2-0) and Utrecht (4-1). The visitors have collected 2.00 points per game across their last 10 matches and have been particularly solid away from home, conceding just 0.50 goals per game. Clasie, Hornkamp and Kasius remain sidelined, but AZ have coped well with their absences. The head-to-head record strongly favours the visitors, with AZ winning 13 of their last 16 meetings.

Considering that AZ Alkmaar have won 13 of their last 16 H2H meetings, our main prediction leans toward Away Win, alongside AZ Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (this landed in 12 of the last 16 encounters).

This Netherlands Eredivisie match will be played on Saturday 22 August 2026 at 15:30.
