Fortuna Sittard hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 23 points and a 14th position in the Eredivisie table. Visiting FC Emmen holds 12th place with 25 pts.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Eredivisie.
Fortuna Sittard form and stats
Fortuna Sittard have played 11 Eredivisie games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-2-3 (wins-draws-losses).
Fortuna Sittard are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Heracles. Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against SC Heerenveen.
Some supporters pointed their bitten nail fingers at Mark Diemers for missing a penalty kick versus Heracles in the 62nd minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.
