Fortuna Sittard - NEC predictions

Though Fortuna Sittard definitely have a shot at winning this match, they’ll need to work for it. NEC are somewhat stronger, but the home-field advantage may be what the hosts need to shift the balance in their favour.

NEC will need to dig deep in order to get past the motivated hosts. An away win at 2.78 betting odds is considered a high risk but that’s exactly why the reward would be much sweeter.

When it comes to Fortuna Sittard’s previous Eredivisie clash, things went the wrong way from the off. They were never the favourites to claim an away win (3.31) but it’s fair to say their fans did not expect to see them lose Sparta Rotterdam. They fell behind in the first half and the game was already settled.

Against all odds, NEC bagged a home win over PSV in their previous Eredivisie match. This home win was priced at 7.50 with major online bookmakers, so the final 3:1 result was nothing short of a miracle.

The first step Fortuna Sittard need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

NEC have registered 7 goals in their three previous home games, which is impressive by any measure. Although they’ll be playing as visitors on Tuesday, it’s still a very good idea to look at Over markets.

The last time we saw these two squads play against each other was earlier in this Eredivisie season. Fortuna Sittard narrowly lost. With the home-field advantage on their side this time, however, most bookies see them as the favourites.

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.
