Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
RKC Waalwijk play host to Fortuna Sittard at their Mandemakers Stadion in what is expected to be a close Eredivisie encounter. RKC aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Feyenoord and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Danny Buijs’ troops. Goalkeeper Etienne Vaessen is banned for the match, with Jeroen Houwen likely to replace him in the starting XI. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Fortuna Sittard, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing to both Utrecht and AZ Alkmaar in the previous two league matches. The Yellow-Greens have been struggling at the back of late and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. Danny Buijs should have a full squad to choose from for Saturday’s Eredivisie encounter.
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.
