Fortuna Sittard form and stats
Fortuna Sittard's results here at Fortuna Sittard Stadion in the Eredivisie have been very modest with 2 victories, 1 draw and 4 defeats. The Fortuna manager Ultee might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
Fortuna Sittard lost their last game at PSV (placed 1st) after a 0-2 scoreline. Osch had a busy but productive day in the PSV match. Despite making nine saves the loss could not be prevented. Osch, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 8.32 out of 10 in that game. Osch stopped the opponent with nine saves.
A strong away win before that one, visiting PEC Zwolle and winning 1-0.The manager Ultee will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Ajax in only four days.
Fortuna are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 8 goals in 7 games. As for conceded goals, Fortuna's unpleasant statistic is 19 goals surrendered. When Fortuna hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like RKC Waalwijk, Sparta Rotterdam, PEC Zwolle, Heracles Almelo and Willem II), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 3 of 3 times.
FC Utrecht form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for FC Utrecht so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-5 (win-draw-lose). Bitter travels for FC Utrecht as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Ajax match.
Two away games in a row for FC Utrecht, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 2-3 versus NAC Breda in the KNVB Beker. Late heartbreak for Utrecht in the NAC Breda match, as the deciding 2-3 goal came deep into overtime. Midfielder Maher was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.75. Maher served one assist, hit six key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 74 successful passes (of 84 total).
A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting Go Ahead Eagles in the Eredivisie.A new game in only four days for FC Utrecht, the Eredivisie home match versus FC Twente. Busy days.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Utrecht have scored 8 goals in 8 league games away. As for defending, Utrecht rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 14 goals from these away matches.
