Fortuna Sittard - Go Ahead Eagles predictions

The home team are slightly stronger as far as most online bookies are concerned, but the difference is by no means insurmountable. Both a stalemate and a victory for Go Ahead Eagles are still on the table.

The visitors are aware of the challenge that awaits them. To come out on top against Fortuna Sittard on their own field would be a major achievement, and it is always a tough task.

Fortuna Sittard are coming on the back of an unsatisfying away defeat in the previous round. Top online sportsbooks priced their victory as the most likely outcome, but they never quite managed to pull ahead in the first half. After falling behind in the latter half of the game, they had to settle for a narrow 3:2 loss.

With a price of 1.58 on them winning at home, Go Ahead Eagles’s previous game was a completely one-sided affair. They were already behind at halftime and ultimately lost 1:3 – a rather predictable outcome if Eredivisie betting tips and odds are to be believed.

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over Go Ahead Eagles’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

Earlier in the season, Fortuna Sittard lost an away game against Go Ahead Eagles, though it was with a relatively small goal difference. Most betting predictions agree that things will go differently this time, especially with the 2.35 odds for a home win in mind.

Dimitrios Siovas, Arianit Ferati, Oğuzhan Özyakup, Michael Verrips will all have to sit this one out due to injuries, leaving the home team’s lineup in a weakened state. They still have an advantage according to betting prices, but it may not be as notable as it would have been otherwise.

Thankfully, Go Ahead Eagles will be able to bring out their roster in full force, with no players forced to the sidelines due to injury or suspension. They’re still considered underdogs, mind you, but it’s something to consider.

Going for a Home Win is already a fairly safe bet but we’d like to shore it up even further. The highest-value way of achieving this is through a Draw No Bet wager, which shortens the odds to 1 but is well worth the price.
