Sittard vs Heracles
Netherlands – Eredivisie
Date: Saturday, 24 November 2018
Kick-off at 19.45 UK/ 20.45 CET
Venue: Fortuna Sittard Stadion, Sittard.
A mid-table team in the Dutch Eredivisie, takes on one of the top teams, with European ambitions as well for the next season, at the Fortuna Sittard Stadion, this Saturday, in the 13th round of first division Netherlands football.
Sittard suffered an away loss last weekend against Venlo. Fortuna will be content though, that they were able to make it a tight contest. Venlo really had to grind out the win. The final scoreline read 3-2 in favor of the hosts. Mlapa chipped in with a brace for the home side while Vidigal and Stokkers scored for the visitors.
Heracles had a tough match on the cards the last matchday, against the in-form Feyenoord, and the game lived up to every word of its hype. The hosts tried their best to take at least a point from the match, but Feyenoord was too good for the home team. The final scoreline read 0-2. Heracles also had to endure the humiliation of recording an own goal.
Heracles seems to be the favorites for this matchup. They have an unbeaten record against Sittard. To be precise, except for a lone draw, Heracles has won every single game against Fortuna Sittard so far. At this stadium, Heracles has a 100% winning record against Fortuna.
Every single game at this ground between these two teams has witnessed more than 2.5 match goals. Only one game so far in these two teams’ entire head-to-head history have gone with under 2.5 match goals.
Fortuna Sittard has been struggling recently this season, even at home. They have shown an inability to properly utilize their home advantage.
