Fortuna Sittard - SC Heerenveen predictions

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

SC Heerenveen have their work cut out for them this Saturday. Most bookmakers online see them as the stronger team, made evident by the 2.37 betting odds for an away win. That’s a fairly slim advantage, though.

Fortuna Sittard’s painful defeat in their previous away match could have been seen from a mile away. They were facing PSV as visitors, so betting predictions never gave them much of a shot. The home team took an early lead which culminated in a 5:2 loss for Fortuna Sittard.

SC Heerenveen last played an away game against Ajax, and the matchup was an uphill battle from the get-go. With the odds set 5.37 for them to win, almost everyone expected a quick defeat – especially after they fell behind in the first half. However, they managed to catch up before the end, recording a surprising draw.

Experts have pointed at Fortuna Sittard’s defence as their biggest issue at the moment. They conceded 8 goals over the last 3 Eredivisie games.

With 6 goals in their own net over the last 3 fixtures, SC Heerenveen's backline has much to be wished for

Fortuna Sittard’s start of the season left a lot to be desired, but there’s a lot of time to improve. However, their clash with SC Heerenveen will not be easy by any stretch of the imagination. They’ll need a win in order to get as far away from the relegation zone as possible.

SC Heerenveen were soundly defeated the last time they clashed with Fortuna Sittard in the previous season. This upset would have been less painful if not for the considerable goal difference at the final whistle. They’re still more likely to win this game, though.

Due to the absence of injuries or suspensions, both teams will have their complete lineups available for an exciting match.
