Fortuna Sittard - Go Ahead Eagles predictions

The visitors are well aware of the challenge ahead of them. To defeat Fortuna Sittard on their home field would be a significant achievement, and it is never an easy undertaking.

A difficult match is ahead of Go Ahead Eagles. They have a big fish to fry but we’ve seen them do it in the past and it’s certain they can do it again.

Fortuna Sittard have a lot to be proud of when it comes to their previous Eredivisie match. During half-time, they were trailing behind FC Utrecht , who were given 1.52 odds to win. In a remarkable turn of events, Fortuna Sittard proceeded to completely dominate the second half, ending the game with a decisive 2:5 away win.

Even though Go Ahead Eagles’s previous Eredivisie match was a 2:1 victory, their performance against NAC Breda was far from perfect. Considering they had both home advantage and a favourable matchup, the fact that they spent most of the match playing from behind is worrisome.

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.

Go Ahead Eagles’s recent performance as visitors has been marked by a lot of conceded goals – 7 in their previous 3 away games.

Fortuna Sittard may be the underdogs in this game, but they have a curious record against Go Ahead Eagles this season. They won the away game they played earlier this season – and did so with a heft goal advantage, too.

An Over 3.5 Goals bet may seem somewhat risky, but it’s a lot more probable than usual. It’s a great pick if the betting value is what you’re after, but some might prefer a somewhat safer choice.
