Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-2
Go Ahead Eagles
Fortuna Sittard will look to kickstart their Eredivisie campaign in style when they face Go Ahead Eagles on Friday evening. Fortuna were having their ups and downs in preseason, with the team beating both Elversberg and St. Truiden, while losing to Genk and Bayer Leverkusen, but they face a difficult task in their opener. Summer recruit Philip Brittijn is widely expected to make his official Fortuna Sittard debut against Go Ahead Eagles.
The visitors, on the other hand, made life difficult for PSV in the Dutch Super Cup, with the team conceding two late goals to eventually lose the trophy. Go Ahead Eagles, though, are more of a team than Fortuna Sittard and we predict that they are going to prove their worth on the field. Defender Dean James is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the Johan Cruyff Shield clash.
Highlighted Team (Sittard):
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.
