Sittard vs FC Emmen Prediction & Betting tips
Fortuna Sittard put her head position last week on the trip through her slender against FC Dordrecht, but did not see the competitor NEC benefit from this. As a result, the team from Limburg is still the leader in the 22nd round.
Sittard :
It was somewhat unsettled this week in Sittard. That had everything to do with the awkward statements of trainer Sunday Oliseh. After the 3-0 victory against FC Dordrecht, Oliseh declared urgent need for reinforcement, because the ‘current successes with only twelve players have been reached.’
On this he was retaliated by club owner Isitan Gün, who even introduced the hashtag # notjust12 on Twitter. The selection of Fortuna Sittard is indeed somewhat narrow, but his statements are not nice to hear for the reserve players, who put their best foot forward every day on the training to convince him that they deserve a chance in the base.
It is true, however, that Oliseh has so far only used twelve field players on a regular basis. With Mica Pinto and Lazar Kojic at least two width purchases have been added to the selection, but Oliseh would like to add this number to the title race as long as possible.
Against Emmen, his team hopes to repack after the election against Dordrecht, when a series of seven wins in a row came to an end. Statistics in home games are impressive so far. Fortuna is virtually unbeatable in our own house. Of the eleven previous home games nine resulted in a victory, against Eindhoven the points were shared and only NEC managed to return with a victory from Limburg.
FC Emmen:
FC Emmen had a positive start of 2018 in-house. In the first match in the Oude Meerdijk, as the stadium of Emmen is going through life this year, RKC Waalwijk was beaten 2-1. The big man at the Drenthenians was Anco Jansen. With his first two hits of the season, he defeated the opening goal of Johan Voskamp. In between, Gregory Ndefe had received a red card, as a result of which Emmen played the biggest part of the game against ten men. The victory was therefore no longer in danger.
Because Fortuna Sittard and NEC lost last week, FC Emmen is now officially the team with the least defeats in the Jupiler League. The team of trainer Dick Lukkien lost only three of her 21 games played. Nevertheless, Emmen still does not get any further than the eighth place in the ranking.
This is due to the high number of draws. The last three games for the winter break ended in a draw. In total, the Emmenaren played as much as eleven of their 21 matches. Moreover, the difference between home and away matches is the same as the difference between day and night. No less than 21 of the 32 points earned so far were achieved in Emmen.
In addition, Emmen does not meet her favorite opponent with Fortuna Sittard. Emmen did not win the last five meetings with the Limburgers. In the 2014/2015 season, the last victories were booked on Fortuna. It was then 3-2 in Emmen, while in Sittard no less than 1-8 was won. Alexander Bannink and Cas Peters were also there and scored three and two times that evening respectively.
