Fortuna Sittard - PEC Zwolle predictions

Though Fortuna Sittard are more likely to win this, an away win would only be slightly surprising. It’s a relatively balanced matchup, which usually means we’ll see some exciting football.

The visiting team understands the difficulty of the task that lies ahead. A win against Fortuna Sittard on their own field would be a major feat, and it is always a tough endeavor.

Fortuna Sittard’s hopes they could return from their latest Eredivisie trip with a positive result were quickly quashed, despite the tied first half. The hosts suffered a remarkable dip in form during the second period which resulted in a NEC defeat.

PEC Zwolle’s latest Eredivisie match resulted in a major upset – a 3:1 win seemed incredibly unlikely. Playing as the home team, they grabbed an early lead against PSV and turned it into one of the least expected outcomes we’ve seen this season.

The hosts will be looking to cut down on the number of goals they concede. They’ve recorded more than 5 total concessions over the last 3 matches, which is usually a cause for concern.

Although the 2.12 betting odds for a home win show that Fortuna Sittard are the favourites, their track record against PEC Zwolle this season is not great. They lost an earlier bout, though it was a rather narrow defeat.

This match is notable for the number of injuries reported prior by both sides. On one hand, the hosts will have to make do without Rodrigo Guth, Onur Demir, Mattijs Branderhorst, Ezequiel Bullaude. On the other, the visitors will not be able to count on Anouar El Azzouzi, Samir Lagsir, Duke Verduin, Tristan Gooijer, Sherel Floranus, Younes Namli. Both are in a precarious state, but you should take the importance of these players to the respective strategies before putting down a stake.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.94, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
