Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Fortuna Sittard will be looking to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Feyenoord when they take on Emmen at Fortuna Sittard Stadion. Sjors Ultee’s men failed to find the net in the previous two league fixtures, and they surely face a difficult task against Emmen, who have been showing signs of improvement of late. Fortuna boss Sjors Ultee should have a full squad to choose from.
The visitors, on the other hand, picked up vital three points from the RKC clash to keep their survival hopes alive. Emmen are now only four points behind the safe zone, and given Fortuna’s anything but good form, we believe that punters can find value in betting on the visiting team. Talented midfielder Lucas Bernadou, who suffered an injury in the 3-1 win over RKC, is unlikely to feature in Saturday’s clash against Emmen.
