Eindhoven FC vs Sittard Prediction & Betting tips
After three good results in a row, Fortuna Sittard appears back in the title race. Can FC Eindhoven throw a spanner in the works?
Eindhoven FC:
When FC Eindhoven wants to take a chance on the playoffs, the Brabanders will have to take a step forward. Eindhoven lost no less than six of its seven games and due to the bad results it sank to fifteenth place in the rankings, with only 31 points from 27 games.
The poor results of the last weeks are due in no small part to the absence of top scorer Mart Lieder. The striker underwent an acute appendectomy two weeks ago and missed the last two games against FC Volendam and FC Dordrecht, both of whom were lost. Eindhoven won only three games this season in which Lieder did not score.
However, strong holders like goalkeeper Ruud Swinkels, midfielder Fries Deschilder and striker Alessio Carlone are also missed. Without four of its best players, Eindhoven has had a hard time in the last few weeks. The foursome will again be absent against Fortuna.
Because the differences are small, Eindhoven is still only two victories from a play-off place. The confidence has, however, been greater at the second club in the City of Light and with a large number of strong holders the number three has to be fought.
Sittard :
Fortuna Sittard seemed to have lost momentum after six games without victory and the internal turmoil after being kicked out of trainer Sunday Oliseh. The Limburgers have, however, recovered in recent weeks and the interim duo Claudio Braga and Kevin Hofland have put the team back on track.
After four defeats in a row, a point was taken against the number four Telstar and also visited the number two and towering favorite for promotion NEC was played right away. A glorious victory over local MVV was added last year.
On a dramatic pitch, Fortuna met her provincial team on all fronts and won deservedly 3-0. The goals were made by Djibril Dianessy, Lisandro Semedo (via a penalty kick) and Stefan Ashkovski. All three goal scorers made their tenth goal of the season.
It can be an interesting end of the season for Fortuna. The deficit on NEC is still only four points, while leader Jong Ajax is six points ahead. Add to this the fact that the Fortuna no longer has the most difficult program (the team will not find any teams from the top five anymore) and the selection has been free of injuries so far. The team also received a quality boost with Todd Cantwell, Micah Pinto and Lazar Kojic during the winter break. Fortuna Sittard still has enough to play for.
