Prediction: 1-3
Feyenoord
Fortuna Sittard will look to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Twente when they take on Feyenoord in the Eredivisie round 30. Danny Buijs’ men continue with their habit of producing much better showings at home than on the travels, but they are still seen as underdogs in Sunday’s encounter. Rodrigo Guth misses out through suspension following his sending-off in a 2-0 loss to Twente, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Rotterdammers, on the other hand, hammered Ajax 6-0 in de Klassieker at the weekend, with the team retaining second place in the standings. Feyenoord are eager to keep their title hopes alive and given Fortuna Sittard’s anything but good form in the Dutch top flight, away win should be considered. As for the visitors, midfielder Quilindschy Hartman remains in the recovery room.
