Sittard vs Maastricht Prediction & Betting tips
De enige Limburgse derby van de Jupiler League staat dit weekend op het programma. Het verschil op de ranglijst is aanzienlijk in het voordeel van de thuisploeg, maar MVV zal de ploeg zijn die het meeste vertrouwen heeft.
Sittard :
Fortuna Sittard rose above the first half of the season, stood at the top of the rankings for a while and won the second period title. However, in the new calendar year there was a hitch. Internal troubles and a trainer with whom the club was unable to sail a country, put the sporting achievements of the Limburgers to the background.
Meanwhile, trainer Sunday Oliseh has been put on hold and his duties are being taken care of by Claudio Braga and Kevin Hofland. With this pair at the helm, there can be talk of a cautious recovery. After four consecutive defeats, Fortuna caught a point against Telstar and last week against direct competitor NEC.
Because of the draw in the Goffert is the title, or at least promotion because Jong Ajax does not compete for the prizes, not yet completely out of sight. But if Fortuna still wants to keep playing a role in the upper regions, then a three point must be added.
Against which opponent is that better than against provincial fellow MVV Maastricht? Although both teams are good and have a common enemy in Roda JC, a victory in a derby gives an extra nice feeling.
Maastricht:
In the beginning of February, after the defeat of a visit to Jong PSV, no Maastricht supporter gave a cent for the chances of their club. The Star Bearers had dropped to the fourteenth position in the rankings and matches against Cambuur Leeuwarden, NEC, Almere City and Fortuna Sittard for the bow promised little good.
The team experienced a miraculous resurrection in recent weeks. In Leeuwarden was won and in the own Geusselt successively NEC and Almere City with sounding figures were defeated. Especially the 4-1 win at NEC impressed. Almere City also had no chance in the Geusselt last week and went into the boat 3-0.
Where MVV was plagued by a variety of injuries during the first half of the season, Ron Elsen now has an almost fully fit selection. Only captain Ricardo Ippel has been missing for several months because of a muscle tear. He now trains with ball again, but his return is still a while.
With the attraction of Luc Mares and the return of the audience favorite Kelechi Nwakali, the team has received new impulses. For this the danger had to come almost exclusively from top scorer Jonathan Okita. The arrival of Nwakali gives Joeri Schroijen and Okita more room to make their chances.
In Maastricht, people suddenly talk about the playoffs again. Because of the three victories in a row, the gap with FC Dordrecht, which would claim the last play-off ticket on the basis of the current ranking, has shrunk to one point.
