FC Emmen vs Sittard Prediction & Betting tips
FC Emmen plays a home game against Fortuna Sittard on Sunday afternoon at the classic time of half past two. Both the home team and the visitors can make good use of the points in the fight against relegation.
FC Emmen:
FC Emmen naturally has the goal again this season to stay in the premier league. The team of coach Dick Lukkien performs more or less as expected in the early months of this season. After nine games the counter is on seven points, which means that the Drenten are just above the line. Two weeks ago Emmen went down, visiting Heracles Almelo. The 2-0 final score was not very strong, but Lukkien said afterwards that his team had in fact suffered a hopeless defeat.
At De Oude Meerdijk, hope is partly based on the return of the long-absent Anco Jansen. Last year the attacking midfielder was very important, with his pioneering role and the five goals he made. Jansen played less than a minute this soccer year, but he is now close to his comeback, although Sunday’s match will come too early. For the rest there are also fewer players in the infirmary, which means there is a lot to choose for Lukkien.
Fortuna Sittard:
Fortuna Sittard started the new season with the same assignment as Emmen. For the people of Limburg, the goal is to extend the membership of the premier league by one year. Until two weeks ago it was no longer what the club from Sittard showed. Fairly surprisingly, Feyenoord was beaten in the previous round. Fortuna was extremely effective and benefited optimally from the rickety defense of Rotterdam. The team left the field with a resounding 4-2 win.
With that victory, Fortuna doubled his score in one fell swoop. The team of trainer Sjors Ultee now stands at six points, which means that they are still at a relegation place. The team can do a good job in the coming weeks, as there are games against direct competitors on the program. Fortuna will play a Limburg derby against VVV Venlo next week. Just like with Emmen, the injury list at Fortuna is no longer as long as a few weeks ago.
