Fortuna Sittard vs PEC Zwolle Prediction & Match Preview

Sittard will aim for the three available points when they welcome Zwolle on Saturday. The two sides will aim to bounce back from the point lost last weekend in their respective games.

Sittard put up a spirited performance last weekend to force Ajax to a 2-2 draw away from home. Kenneth Taylor fired Ajax before Deroy Duarte equalized for Sittard. Sierhuis made it 2-1 in favor of Sittard before Brobbey restored parity late in the game. 

The away draw against will boost the confidence of Sittard coming into this fixture. Returning to winning ways will be paramount for them having won two, lost 2, and drawn 1 in their last five matches.

Zwolle comes into this fixture with the hope of winning for the first time since February 4, 2024. They have lost three and drawn two of their last five league matches.

They will have to put behind them the home draw against bottom side FC Volendam last weekend. Drawing a match many tipped them to win was a major dent in their revival hopes.

Saturday’s fixture hands Zwolle the chance to get their season back on track, as they fight to avoid the drop.

Recent Meetings

Zwolle won the reverse fixture 2-0 on home soil last year in November. Van Den Berg opened the scoring just before halftime, and Velanas sealed the win late on in the game. 

Zwolle and Sittard both won two games each in the last five head-to-head meetings. The other clash ended in a draw. 

Ten goals were scored in the last five head-to-head meetings, with the two sides scoring 5 each.

Sittard vs Zwolle Prediction

The results of the last five head-to-head meetings have shown that they are evenly matched. This sets up a fierce clash on Saturday, with Sittard determined to retaliate.

Sittard seems to be the favorite going into this match, after the draw last weekend against Ajax. They will draw inspiration from the draw and the support of home fans. I am backing a slim home win for Sittard in the clash.

My second tip for this match is under 2.50, coming at 1.98 odds. This is a very likely outcome as the last four head-to-head meetings between the two have ended under 2.5 goals. The form at which they are supports this tip.
