An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 17th and the visitors in 15th place.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Fortuna Sittard form and stats

1 victory, 2 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Fortuna Sittard have to build on here at Fortuna Sittard Stadion in the Eredivisie.

In their previous game, the manager S. Ultee led his Fortuna Sittard to a defeat in the Eredivisie match away at FC Emmen. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Fortuna Sittard Stadion. Ahead of that match, Fortuna Sittard won a home game hosting Feyenoord (4-2).

This is expected to be a close game, with Fortuna Sittard perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Fortuna Sittard as a small favourite), we find nine games. Fortuna Sittard has won 5 of these, drawn 3 and lost 1.

The Fortuna Sittard fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 9 goals in 5 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 9 goals have been conceded.

VVV-Venlo form and stats

As the visiting team in Eredivisie matches, VVV-Venlo have produced an overall stat of 1-0-4 so far. With the VVV-Venlo losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Three consecutive losses in away matches means VVV-Venlo are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

VVV-Venlo failed to get anything from their last game, a Eredivisie home match vs Vitesse (placed 3rd) that ended with defeat 0-4. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against PSV wasn't a success with a 1-4 loss.

VVV-Venlo lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found six similar matches played by VVV-Venlo in our archives, and the results are: 3 wins for VVV-Venlo, 2 draws and 1 defeat.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the VVV-Venlo manager as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Groene Ster.

The visitors have scored 4 goals from 5 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The VVV-Venlo manager has some worries about the defense as 11 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: 2 - 4 - 4 (Fortuna Sittard wins - draws - VVV-Venlo wins). As for goals, 5 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 5 had two or less.
