Fortuna Sittard - NEC betting tips and odds

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 NEC are still on the table.

NEC 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 3.25 with top online bookies, which could bring a decent profit.

The 1:1 result at the end of Fortuna Sittard’s previous match against Vitesse was quite surprising. They were considered far weaker than their opponents going in, yet managed to pull ahead in the first half.

NEC’s most recent 5:3 away defeat at the hands of Feyenoord was priced at 1.27 with top bookies, so it can’t be called a surprise. As such odds, though, it’s commendable that they managed to end the first half on a draw.

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 may need to work on their defence if they want to get anywhere. In the 3 most recent matches they played, they conceded more than 5 times in total, which is not a good record to have.

With Ben Rienstra, Lisandro Semedo, Zian Flemming, Bassala Sambou, Arianit Ferati, Mickael Tirpan all out of the picture, Fortuna Sittard’s lineup is in shambles. The odds may favour them though but we still advise some caution.

A Home Win at the odds of 2.21 is the most likely outcome here with decent value and a strong probability of success. This doesn’t seem like a good opportunity to take unnecessary risks.
