Fortuna Sittard vs RKC Predictions

• Fortuna Sittard could drop into the bottom three this weekend.
• Even a win for RKC won’t be enough to move them out of last place.
• The hosts will be looking for a response from their players following the 5-0 defeat at PSV.
• RKC are aiming for back to back away wins in the Eredivisie for the first time this season.

The hosts are at their best at home

Both teams scored when these two sides last met in April 2018 and both teams have scored in four of RKC’s last six matches, with Fortuna Sittard only failing to score in two of their last six outings. Both sides head into the game having won two, drawn one, and lost three of their last six matches, so you can begin to see why we fancy the pair to draw on Saturday.

Fortuna Sittard have been at their strongest at home this season, only losing two of their eight games, while RKC have performed just as well, or poorly depending on how you look at it, on the road as they have at home this season, picking up four points, but have seen their overall form and performances improve after a terrible start to the campaign.

Fortuna Sittard average 1.75 points per home game while RKC average 0.50 points per away game, but the visitors did win at Utrecht in their last away game, and we have backed the pair to play out a 1-1 draw this weekend. Fortuna Sittard score an average of 1.88 goals per home game and concede an average of 1.25 goals while RKC score an average of 1.25 goals per away game, which adds weight to our prediction for a final score of 1-1.

RKC have secured 7 of their 8 points for the season in their last five matches

Both teams have scored in 62% of RKC away games and Fortuna Sittard’s home games so far this season, with the visitors scoring more goals on the road (10) than they have at home (7). Over 1.5 goals have been produced in 62% of Fortuna Sittard’s home games and 88% of RKC’s away games this season, which backs up our prediction for a 1-1 draw on Saturday.

Fortuna Sittard have only kept clean sheets in 38% of their home games and RKC have only kept clean sheets in 12% of their away games so far, all of which suggests that both teams are in with a great chance of scoring this weekend.

We’re confident that both teams will score in Saturday’s match and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1. Fortuna Sittard head into the match as the favourites and are strong at home but RKC have improved of late and we believe the visitors can secure a positive result this weekend.
