Sparta Rotterdam - Fortuna Sittard predictions

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 Fortuna Sittard are still on the table.

Fortuna Sittard is a team that doesn't shy away from a challenge and we anticipate them giving their all in this matchup.

If someone had offered them a Ajax draw before the last round’s clash, we’re sure Sparta Rotterdam would have taken it. But after a bright first half and a lead they took the fans will surely have been disappointed by the fact their team let this one slip by.

The visiting team are coming on the back of a decisive victory in their recent home game, which earned them 3 points and a solid 3:1 goal difference. Such an outcome was hardly surprising, though – most bookmakers online saw them as the clearly stronger team in that particular matchup.

Sparta Rotterdam have been having issues defending lately, though it’s mostly affected their away games for now. They’ve recorded 5 concessions in the past 3 games as visitors.

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.

According to the recent head-to-head records, Sparta Rotterdam already has a win over the away team recorded earlier in the season. It was a narrow victory, but a victory nonetheless, justifying the 2.29 odds on a home win.

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
