- Fortuna Sittard have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Ajax has the most scored goals (58) in Eredivisie
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Fortuna Sittard form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Eredivisie this season. Fortuna Sittard have only managed 2 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses from their games here at Fortuna Sittard Stadion.
Fortuna lost their last game at NEC (after extra-time) after a 2-3 scoreline. In the preceding match a 2-0 victory visiting PEC Zwolle.
Despite playing at their own arena the home team are massive underdogs in this game. The home fans will enjoy their drinks and snacks knowing that the chances of a positive outcome are very slim. When Fortuna have been in this position before, they have won zero, drawn zero and lost one from one game. one defeat by at least two goals.
There will be little rest for Fortuna after this match as they are travelling to RKC Waalwijk for a Eredivisie game in only three days.
A decent goal production from Fortuna in their home games so far, with 13 goals from 8 league matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Fortuna with 18 goals conceded in these matches.
Ajax form and stats
Ajax's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Ajax, who have the most scored goals (58) in Eredivisie, collect 19 points from their 8 away matches in the Eredivisie. 6 victories and 1 draw have created these points (and only 1 defeat).
Two travels in a row for Ajax, whose manager E. ten Hag could celebrate last time after the KNVB Beker win against AZ Alkmaar. A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Feyenoord.
A victory against AZ Alkmaar as mentioned above, but the margin of victory could have been bigger as Ajax hit the posts three times.
As mentioned earlier, Ajax will not be satisfied unless they get a comfortable victory in this game. Performing as huge favourites away from home has earlier resulted in 13 wins (ten by two or more goals winning margin), one draw and zero surprising defeats.
After this away game Ajax return home for a Eredivisie game against Willem II. That game is only four sleeps after this.
The prediction for this game is lots of goals as Ajax alone have scored more than three on average in their league games away (30 from 8 played). It's not easy to score on Ajax as they have only conceded 5 goals from these away games. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
