Fortuna Sittard vs PEC Zwolle Predictions

• Fortuna Sittard and Zwolle make up two of the five lowest scoring Eredivisie sides.
• Six of Zwolle’s last seven league games produced under 2.5 goals.
• A league-high 17 of Zwolle’s games produced under 2.5 goals this season (71%).

A classic relegation six-pointer

With just six points separating the bottom-five sides in the Eredivisie before a ball was kicked this weekend, both Fortuna Sittard and rock-bottom Zwolle know that a win in this game could be pivotal in regards to their league status come the end of the campaign.

Even so, only Sparta Rotterdam won fewer games than both of these sides, with Fortuna on five and Zwolle on four league wins, respectively.

Fortuna Sittard actually have the worst defensive record in the Eredivisie with 52 goals conceded (2.3 on average), but they welcome the Eredivisie’s worst strike force in Zwolle, who have managed just 18 goals after 24 rounds (0.8 on average) – making for a potentially low-scoring cocktail.

Sittard and Zwolle might just ‘go Dutch’

Given what is at stake in this clash, it would surprise few across the football world if these sides were to play out a cagey draw due to their fear of being plunged further into crisis.

As such, I predict that this game will feature under 2.5 goals, with a 1-1 score draw being a likely outcome in the correct score market.
