Feyenoord form and stats

Feyenoord have performed here at Stadion Feijenoord this season with 7 wins from 11 Eredivisie matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 3 games and lost 1. Feyenoord has a nice streak going on as they have played eleven consecutive games without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Ajax defeat 118 days ago. Feyenoord has won so many consecutive home games (five in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Stadion Feijenoord. We remember; it was Heracles.

A good away victory last time out for Feyenoord, who won 4-3 against PEC Zwolle (placed 16th). A strong away win before that one, visiting SC Heerenveen and winning 1-0.

A very satisfying win for Feyenoord against PEC Zwolle last time out as a late comeback secured the victory after trailing 0-2. The win was secured through Róbert Boženík's goal in the 88th minute. A goal frenzy last time out for Feyenoord, with a total of 7 goals in the match against PEC Zwolle. Fun stuff to watch! The victory against PEC Zwolle came after Róbert Boženík's winning goal. The Feyenoord manager D. Advocaat was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 46th minute.

Feyenoord can score goals in their home matches. After 11 league matches they have found the net 25 times. On the other hand, Feyenoord have conceded 14 goals.

Fortuna Sittard form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Fortuna Sittard so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 0-3-8 (win-draw-lose). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Fortuna Sittard have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone eleven consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the AZ game.

Fortuna Sittard are looking to quickly end their 196 minutes long goal drought in the Eredivisie.

There were no winners in Fortuna Sittard's previous match, a Eredivisie home game that ended 0-0 vs FC Emmen (placed 13th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Heracles wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

With the home team given a winning probability of about 80% by the bookmakers, any positive result for the visitors would be a surprise. Checking earlier matches with similar odds with Fortuna Sittard as the away team, we found four results. Statistics from these were zero away wins, zero draws and four defeats. The outsiders lost four of these games by at least two goals.

The attacking power of Fortuna Sittard when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 11 league matches away. The Fortuna Sittard defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 33 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

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