Prediction: 1-2
Go Ahead Eagles
Fortuna Sittard and Go Ahead Eagles square off against each other at Fortuna Sittard Stadion in what is expected to be a close Eredivisie encounter. Fortuna Sittard suffered a dip in form, with the team losing each of their last three league matches and given their difficulties at the back, home win should not be considered. The good news for the hosts is that defender Ivo Pinto is back from suspension, while Arianit Ferati remains doubtful.
Go Ahead Eagles, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 3-1 loss to Feyenoord. As the visitors are eager to cement their spot in top eight, we are tempted to place our bets on Rene Hake’s men. You should bear in mind that G.A. Eagles emerged triumphant in each of their last three meetings with Fortuna Sittard in the Eredivisie. Talented midfielder Jakob Breum could sneak into the starting XI following his fine performance against the Rotterdammers.
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.
