Prediction: 2-1
Sittard
Buoyed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over Groningen, Vitesse will be aiming to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they take on Fortuna Sittard in the Eredivisie round 7. The Vitas quickly bounced back from a heavy 4-1 loss to Twente, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence. Vitesse aim to give fans yet another reason for celebration, and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s clash.
The good news for the hosts is that important defender Danilho Doekhi returns from suspension. Fortuna, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 5-0 loss to league leaders Ajax on Tuesday evening. Since Sjors Ultee’s troops are not regarded as good travelers, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Vitesse, who proved their worth in the triumph over Groningen. All Ferati, Flemming, and Semedo are out of contention for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Riechedly Bazoer):
Despite playing for PSV during his youth career, Riechedly Bazoer made his Eredivisie debut with Ajax. The central midfielder who was born on 12 October, 1996 in Utrecht, scored his first goal for Ajax on 15 February, 2015 in a 4-2 victory over Twente.
Four days later he made his European debut with the Amsterdammers, taking part in a 1-0 win over Legia in the Europa League. Bazoer scored five goals in 29 league appearances for Ajax in the 2015/2016 season, but he failed to win the domestic trophy with Frank de Boer’s troops.
Speaking of his international career, Bazoer has two caps for Netherlands U21 team and he made his debut for the first team on 13 November, 2015 against Wales. It has to be noted that he came as a late substitute in the 3-2 victory over the Dragons. Back in 2012 the right-footed midfielder won the UEFA U17 European Championship with the Dutch national 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.
