Feyenoord - Fortuna Sittard betting tips and odds

Feyenoord are likely on their way to a decisive victory, and it’s hard to feel optimistic about the visitors’ prospects. Bookmakers are pricing a home win at 1.44, which is quite in line with most expert opinions.

Considering what they’re up against, Fortuna Sittard can’t set their ambitions too high in this match. Playing as visitors at odds of 7.00 for an away win, calling them underdogs seems like an understatement.

Feyenoord manager will need to find a way to lift his team’s spirits after a surprising home draw in the last round against FC Emmen. The hosts went goal-up in the first half but ultimately failed to justify the favourites’ tag after letting their rivals get back in the 1:1 game and run away with a point in their bag.

Fortuna Sittard’s 0:1 loss in their previous home game against FC Utrecht was not surprising – top online bookmakers gave them 5.50 odds to win. The match remained a stalemate in the first half, but it was only a matter of time.

Feyenoord gans are hoping for better defensive performance then what they’ve seen in away games. The previous three matches featured 7 conceded goals.

Feyenoord already seem set to go to the upcoming Europa League campaign – though there’s still time for things to change. Their upcoming clash with Fortuna Sittard might push them closer to a Champions League qualification as well.

Looking over the head-to-head statistics for this Eredivisie season, the hosts already recorded a victory over Fortuna Sittard. This puts them ahead of their opponents, which is reflected in the betting odds.

With Justin Bijlow, Bart Nieuwkoop, Mark Diemers, Leroy Fer, Christian Joe Conteh, João Teixeira all out of the picture, Feyenoord’s lineup is in shambles. The odds may favour them though but we still advise some caution.

To balance out this match, we suggest taking a -1.5 Asian Handicap on the obvious favourites in this game. This should increase your returns substantially while still keeping things relatively risk-free.
