Heracles - Fortuna Sittard predictions

Though the home team can be called favourites, they can’t quite relax going into the match at Fortuna Sittard. Their advantage is quite narrow, and just a few mistakes could end up costing them the game.

Fortuna Sittard are coming into this match as underdogs, though the difference is not overwhelming. Even so, they’re not all that likely to win. An Away Win bet is priced at 2.68 with top online bookies, which could bring a decent profit.

Although Heracles’s previous Eredivisie outing at Excelsior was a crushing away loss, it’s hard to judge their form based on that performance alone. After all, they were out-classed by Excelsior , who secured an early lead and a comfortable 4:0 victory in the end.

The away team are riding the high of their recent success against PSV. To be clear, they didn’t win – the match ended in a 1:1 draw. Considering the odds for them winning were set at 1.31, however, few predictions expected them to put up any sort of fight, let alone spend a good chunk of the match ahead as they did.

Experts have pointed at Heracles’s defence as their biggest issue at the moment. They conceded 12 goals over the last 3 Eredivisie games.

Our confidence that Fortuna Sittard will manage to hold their composure in an away game is shaky. They have over 5 concessions on record in their latest 3 visiting games alone.

This is the second time these two teams will clash as part of the current Eredivisie season. Fortuna Sittard won the first time around, though it was a rather close victory and most bookies are expecting this match to end differently.

To make things even more difficult for the visitors, they’ve had an unfortunate run of injuries recently. Arianit Ferati, Oğuzhan Özyakup, Michael Verrips have all been put out of contention, leaving the team’s coach with a more limited set of options at his disposal.

Betting on a Double Chance for Away or Draw is almost sure to see success here. The returns may be limited, as you might expect, but the 1.59 odds on 1xbet are attractive enough to make the bet worth the effort.
