Prediction: 1-1
Utrecht
Fortuna Sittard and Utrecht go head to head at Fortuna Sittard Stadion in the Eredivisie round 17. Sjors Ultee’s troops desperately needed a win against Zwolle, and they managed to get one, with the team beating Zwolle in the relegation six-pointer at the weekend. The hosts are eager to escape the relegation zone, but they will have a big fish to fry in Saturday’s football match. Sjors Ultee should have a full squad to choose from this time out.
Utrecht, on the other hand, failed to turn their dominance into victory in a goalless draw with G.A. Eagles. The visitors are eager to stay in top seven in the Eredivisie standings, but given Fortuna’s display in the triumph over Zwolle, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Maarten Paes is sidelined through injury, while all Sylian Mokono, Christopher Mamengi, and Tommy St. Jago are rated doubtful for the game.
Highlighted Player (Andreas Samaris):
Greece international midfielder Andreas Samaris began his career playing for Panachaiki before his spells with Panionios and Olympiakos. SL Benfica is the first international experience for the 27-year-old player who arrived in Portugal in 2014.
A full international since 2013, Samaris represented Greece at the 2014 FIFA World Cup during which he managed to make his presence known and earn a move abroad. Andreas Samaris operates as a central midfield but is capable of filling in defensive midfielder role. Greek international was the mainstay for Benfica during his first two seasons at the club managing 46 Primeira Liga appearances during the period. He also added 12 Champions League appearances.
Andreas Samaras helped Benfica win two Primeira Liga titles, two Taca da Liga trophies and one Super Cup. Greek international was the regular performer for his national team during the unsuccessful Euro 2016 qualifying campaign with ten games to his name.
Highlighted Team (Utrecht):
Established on July 1, 1970, Utrecht is a Dutch club that competes in the Eredivisie. The club was founded as a merger of VV DOS, USV Elinkwijk, and Velox, and it has to be noted that VV DOS did well to win the Eredivisie trophy back in 1958.
Utrecht, on the other hand, have yet to win the national championship, but they have lifted three KNVB Cup trophies (1984/85, 2002/03, 2003/04). Leo van Veen is leading the club’s all-time goal-scoring chart with 153 goals. Speaking of the club’s colours, they were white and red shirts when playing at home, while blue is the dominant colour of their away jersey.
Due to the hooligan clashes, Utrecht have a rivalry with Dutch giants Ajax. The games between the two clubs have always been very tense on the field. Utrecht welcome their rivals at Stadion Galgenwaard, the venue which can hold up to 23,750 people. The stadium was opened back in May 1936.
