Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Following a goalless draw with Willem II, Fortuna Sittard will look to return to winning ways in the Eredivisie when they face Groningen on Matchday 10. The Yellow-Greens are eyeing their third consecutive clean sheet and they are likely to rely on their rock-solid defence in Saturday’s clash. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Croatia midfielder Alen Halilovic, who produced a fine performance in the last league match, while forward Kaj Sierhuis remains in the recovery room.
The Green and Whites, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Utrecht and given their four-game losing run in the Dutch top flight, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Fortuna. You should know that Fortuna Sittard defeated Groningen 3-1 in their last meeting at the venue. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team.
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.
