Another interesting game in the Eredivisie. Fortuna Sittard is in the 16th position after playing one matches. They welcome AZ Alkmaar who are placed 9th after zero games.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
