Sittard vs Groningen Prediction & Betting tips
Fortuna Sittard and FC Groningen are the first two teams to play in the Eredivisie on Sunday. Which of the two has the best credentials to get three points?
Fortuna Sittard:
For Fortuna Sittard it has been a disappointing season so far. Prior to the start of the competition, expectations about the team were quite high. Trainer Kevin Hofland said that the season goal could be more ambitious in his opinion than just enforcement. The selection had been strengthened and Fortuna wanted to move up the rankings, that was the tenor.
Practice turns out, as so often, to be more unruly. After five match days, the green angels are on only two points, making them nothing more than a relegation candidate for the time being. Last weekend, Fortuna started strongly, in the away game against FC Emmen. On the Oude Meerdijk, Hofland’s team took a 0-2 lead, but it was not enough for a victory. In Emmen it ended in a 2-2 draw.
Fc Groningen:
After five duels, FC Groningen is on the acceptable number of seven points for the club. The highlight so far was unmistakably the 1-0 home win against Ajax, which was booked just before the international match. Last week, Danny Buijs’ green and white played another home game. And again the northerners managed to keep the zero. Only they did not score themselves either. In the home game against FC Utrecht, a goalless draw – given the power ratios – was the maximum achievable.
Just like with opponent Fortuna, there is certainly room for improvement at Groningen. The positive thing is that Buijs’ team is much better defensively than the average club from the Eredivisie. That was already the case last year, and is therefore always the case. But just like last year – when only ADO Den Haag scored less often – Groningen is also struggling to find the net this year. In that respect, the return of Arjen Robben is very welcome. He fell in against Utrecht; he may be in the base on Sunday.
