Fortuna Sittard vs Sparta Rotterdam Predictions

• Sparta Rotterdam are unbeaten in their last eight matches
• Fortuna Sittard have picked up only three home league wins all season
• Both teams have scored in three of Fortuna Sittard’s last four matches

Highflying Rotterdam can get back on winning trail

Sparta Rotterdam have not lost in the Eredivisie since October and can extend their unbeaten run against Fortuna Sittard at the Offermans Joosten Stadion.

Maurice Steijn’s men have emerged as serious contenders for a European berth in the last few months having put together an eight-match unbeaten run in the Eredivisie, featuring four wins and a draw away to highflyers PSV Eindhoven.

Draws with mid-table pair Waalwijk and NEC in their last two fixtures were not ideal but they should get back on the winning trail away to Fortuna Sittard, who have failed to win seven of their ten home league games.

Goals could be on the cards

Sparta Rotterdam came out on top 3-1 when these sides clashed back in October – that was the start of their unbeaten streak – and they can repeat the feat on Friday.

We predict a win for Sparta Rotterdam but there could also be goals in this one – both sides have in-form strikers at their disposal with Burak Yilmaz on eight league goals for Fortuna Sittard and Rotterdam frontman Vito van Crooij having bagged seven league goals.

With that in mind, we predict a Rotterdam win by a 2-1 margin.
