The season is still fairly new and the Eredivisie table has to be read with caution. So far PSV find themselves in 5th position and Fortuna Sittard are placed 15th.

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Europa League. That game was an away game at Rosenborg, so at least PSV are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Fortuna Sittard form and stats

The visitors' first away game in the Eredivisie ended in defeat. Last season Fortuna Sittard had these away match statistics: Played 13; won 0, drew 4 and lost 9.

Fortuna's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus AZ that finished 3-3. The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-3 defeat against SC Heerenveen.

Fortuna's last match (vs AZ) ended in drama as all points looked lost at the score 1-3. They did not give up, fought back and in the end a courageous finish rescued a draw after 90 minutes thanks to a 90th minute equalizer by Zian Flemming. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Fortuna Sittard, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?

The home team is given a winning chance of about 80 percent by the betting public. This does not leave much hope for the visitors, but some teams enjoy the outsider role and perform well in it. Looking at similar away games for Fortuna we find five games. Results are zero Fortuna Sittard wins, zero draws and five defeats.

It's early days yet, but Fortuna Sittard has scored 0 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last three meetings between these two teams are: three wins for PSV, zero draws and zero wins for Fortuna Sittard. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: zero games.
