GO Ahead Eagles vs Fortuna Sittard prediction, odds and how to watch

NEC Nijmegen dominated the basics but could not convert their chances, and GO Ahead Eagles nicked a point through Perr Schuurs inside two minutes. A draw neither side deserved in the way they probably wanted it.

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.

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.

GO Ahead Eagles dominated every statistic that mattered but could only rescue a 1-1 draw against FC Groningen at home, with Søren Tengstedt equalising in the 82nd minute after Brynjólfur Willumsson's first-half goal threatened to hand the visitors all three points.

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.

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.

Two leaky defences, a recent head-to-head that ended 2-2, and both sides desperately needing three points. Saturday at De Adelaarshorst has the makings of a proper match.
