Prediction: 1-2
Feyenoord
Fortuna Sittard and Feyenoord, the two teams with entirely different ambitions in the 2020/21 Eredivisie campaign. Fortuna Sittard are eyeing the elite division survival, while Feyenoord’s main goal is to book their place in the Champions League. The rock-bottom side do not seem to be competitive at this level, with the team collecting only three points in total from possible 24. Fortuna have yet to record a win in the new season, and it is no wonder bookies seem them as underdogs in Sunday’s game.
Feyenoord, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Emmen and Groningen. As always, a man to watch in the away team will be Steven Berghuis, who scored his seventh goal of the season in the 2-0 win over Groningen. Since the game will be played behind closed doors, away win should definitely be considered.
Highlighted Player (Alexei Koselev):
Alexei Koselev is a Moldovan international who plays for Eredivisie side Fortuna Sittard. Koselev started his youth career at Kuban Krasnodar, but he did not see any game action with the Russian club at senior level.
The Moldovan goalkeeper played for the likes of Gagauzia, Dacia-2 Buiucani, Real-Succes, Saxan Gagauz Yeri, FC Tiraspol, Sheriff Tiraspol, and Politehnica Iasi before joining Fortuna Sittard in the summer of 2018. Alexei Koselev has 18 caps for the Moldova U21 team, and he made his senior debut in a qualifier against Russia in 2015.
The 200-cm-tall shot-stopper managed to keep his first clean sheet with the Moldova national team in a 2-0 win over San Marino on March 19, 2017. Alexei Koselev’s preferred foot is right, and he wears the No. 77 shirt at Fortuna Sittard. He made his Eredivisie debut on August 11, 2018 in a 1-1 draw with Excelsior.
