Emmen vs Fortuna Sittard Predictions

Emmen went down 2-0 at Heracles before the international break and will be looking forward to more familiar surroundings this weekend as they are unbeaten in their last two home games. Fortuna Sittard secured an impressive 4-2 victory over Feyenoord last time out but are still searching for their first win on the road this weekend.

All of the stats suggest that we are likely to see both teams score and over 2.5 goals in Sunday’s clash and we have backed the pair to play out a 2-2 draw.

Goals are almost expected when these two sides lock horns, as both teams scored and over 2.5 goals were produced in five of the last six meetings between these two clubs and three of the pairs’ last six encounters have ended in draws, two of which Emmen have hosted, so you can see why we’re backing a final score of 2-2 this weekend.

The performances of both clubs during the last month or so only add weight top our prediction for goals in this game, as four of Emmen’s last six and three of Fortuna Sittard’s last five matches have seen both teams scored and over 2.5 goals and both teams have only managed to keep one clean sheet apiece in their last six attempts.

The form of the two sides also points towards a draw being the most likely result this weekend, as Emmen and Fortuna Sittard have only won one of their last six matches, but the hosts haven’t lost either of their last two home games and their guests haven’t won on the road so far this season.

We’re confident that both teams will score and over 2.5 goals will be produced in Sunday’s match and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-2. Both teams are short on wins and have had poor starts to the new season but there have been plenty of goals scored and conceded by both teams in recent weeks which is why we have backed a 2-2 draw between the two sides this weekend.
