Fortuna Sittard 3-2 PEC Zwolle result, stats and report

Philip Brittijn's 79th-minute strike gave Fortuna Sittard a 1-0 win at Willem II, condemning the hosts to a fourth defeat in their last five Eredivisie matches and leaving serious questions about their ability to compete at this level.

PEC Zwolle silenced the home crowd at FC Groningen with a thoroughly professional 3-0 victory, goals from Thom van Bergen, Jorg Schreuders and Tygo Land doing the damage in a display that was far more controlled than their recent results suggested.

Feyenoord put seven past a shellshocked PEC Zwolle side at home, with Nacho Ferri and Anis Hadj Moussa among the scorers in a one-sided Eredivisie demolition that exposed every weakness Zwolle have been hiding.

Ajax put five past Fortuna Sittard at the Fortuna Sittard Stadion, with Julian Brandt, Thilo Kehrer, Davy Klaassen and Kasper Dolberg among the scorers in a dominant away display. Fortuna's consolation from substitute Anthony Descotte was nothing more than a footnote.

NEC Nijmegen have not kept a single clean sheet in their last ten Eredivisie matches. Fortuna Sittard have scored in every one of theirs. Sunday evening at 19:00 has the makings of a proper contest.

PEC Zwolle have shipped 28 goals in their last ten Eredivisie matches and now face a GO Ahead Eagles side that has scored in every single one of their last five. Something has to give, and the smart money says it is Zwolle's backline.

Sunday's Eredivisie clash at PEC Zwolle pits two sides desperate for points against each other, with Cambuur yet to win in five attempts and Zwolle leaking goals at an alarming rate. Something has to give.

Fortuna Sittard host Twente on Saturday evening with both sides in decent nick, but the numbers behind Sittard's defence tell a worrying story. Twente arrive knowing exactly where to hurt them.
