PEC Zwolle - 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 heading into a difficult fight, but it’s far from hopeless. They may need to bring their best, but the match can go any way at this point. The odds of an away win are 2.79 right now, which means the favourites are far from clear.

Although PEC Zwolle are coming on the back of a harsh 6:1 loss, it would be rather unfair to judge them purely on that performance. They were playing an away game in an extremely difficult matchup against Feyenoord , so they spent most of the match trailing behind.

Not even the most ardent of Fortuna Sittard supporters had much hope that the squad will manage to win in the previous round, with bookies pricing that outcome at 1.94. The tie score at halftime and the home-field advantage gave them some hope at first, but they ended up recording a 1:3 defeat by the end.

The first step PEC Zwolle 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.

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.

Placed at 14th in the current Eredivisie standings, the hosts are struggling to stay out of the relegation zone. Winning the match on Saturday will be a great step towards improving the overall impression they left this season.

Looking at the previous season, we can easily spot a pattern for this matchup. PEC Zwolle have multiple decisive victories on record, so it’s easy to see why most bookmakers online see them as the favourites.

This Saturday, both teams will have a full roster available to them, thanks to the absence of injuries or suspensions.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.75 if you use the Pncl sportsbook.
