Vitesse - Fortuna Sittard predictions

It’s hard to see even the most ardent of Vitesse fans expect a victory here. As clear underdogs, even a draw against Fortuna Sittard would be quite impressive, let alone an upset in the form of a home win.

The match is most likely to go in the away team’s favour, though it’s by no means a sure thing. With 2.01 betting odds to win, Fortuna Sittard have the upper hand going in, but all three possible outcomes are possible.

Although Vitesse are coming on the back of a harsh 6:0 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 PSV , so they spent most of the match trailing behind.

Fortuna Sittard are coming on the back of an HT/FT defeat on home ground, which was not unexpected. Even at home, top online bookies priced their victory at impossibly long odds of 1.38. The final score came out as 0:1, which is admittedly not as bad as it could have been in such a one-sided ordeal.

With 13 concessions over the last 3 matches, Vitesse will definitely have to make some improvements in their defensive line.

The away team’s previous three away games left a lot to be desired when it comes to how they perform defensively. Over 5 conceded goals in just 3 matches is never a good look, even if you’re playing as visitors.

Vitesse will need another 20 points to get out of the relegation zone – and this round is not a particularly good opportunity to win them. They are quickly running out of time, though, and will need to move quickly if they wish to stay in the Eredivisie.

Fortuna Sittard took the home win last time they clashed with Vitesse, and they did so with a hefty lead. It’s no surprise most betting predictions are expecting another triumph despite the fact they’re playing as the away team in GelreDome.

The home team’s lineup has been severely impacted by an unfortunate string of injuries. Specifically, Miliano Jonathans, Marco van Ginkel, F. Fofana, Davy Pröpper, Mexx Meerdink are all away due to injury-related reasons. This makes their chances of beating the visiting side even slimmer and should be a major consideration before choosing to bet one way or the other.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1.96. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
