Fortuna Sittard - NEC predictions

Predicting which side will win this match based on odds alone is a complete toss-up. We would say the hosts have a bit of an advantage, but their success is by no means assured.

The task ahead is well-known to the visiting team. Defeating Fortuna Sittard on their own field would be a major accomplishment, and doing so is always challenging.

Fortuna Sittard pushed the home advantage hard in their previous outing against Almere City , securing a decisive 3:0 victory. While the home win was somewhat predictable, they’ve shown more than able to keep up the pace from start to finish.

NEC won their previous Eredivisie matchup thanks to a late-game decider. They spent most of the game’s runtime toe-to-toe with PEC Zwolle, which was somewhat unexpected considering how one-sided the betting odds initially were.

We’ll have to go with last season’s results as a basis for head-to-head statistics and those were full of surprising results. Despite their current status as underdogs, NEC won a match in the previous season with a considerable advantage.

The hosts went through a slew of unfortunate injuries recently, rendering some of their players unavailable for the match this Saturday. Kristoffer Peterson, Loreintz Rosier, Alessio Da Cruz will not be playing, though the team is still considered likely to win.

At the odds of 2.37, the match will likely end in a Home Win. The probability of success is the most important factor here, and all signs are pointing towards a triumph for Fortuna Sittard.
