Fortuna Sittard form and stats

Fortuna Sittard have only collected 2 points from their away games in the Eredivisie, after 0-2-5 (7 played). With the Fortuna Sittard losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Fortuna, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-2 versus AZ (placed 8th). Zian Flemming, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.43. Flemming scored one goal and hit one key pass.

Preceding that, the 1-4 home loss versus FC Groningen.

As mentioned above, the bookmakers do not believe the away team will get anything from this match. Checking Fortuna Sittard's match history for similar games we find five matches. The home team won four of these as expected, two of them by at least two goals. Fortuna managed one draw and zero surprise wins.

Fortuna Sittard have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 7 league away games 8 goals have been scored. For Fortuna, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last eight meetings: six - zero - two (Feyenoord wins - draws - Fortuna Sittard wins). As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two had two or less.
