Fortuna Sittard vs Vitesse Predictions

• Over 2.5 goals have been produced in 5 of the last 7 meetings between these two clubs.
• Over 2.5 goals have been scored in 5 of Fortuna Sittard’s last 6 matches.
• Over 2.5 goals have been scored in 4 of Vitesse’s last 5 matches.
• Vitesse have scored at least 3 team goals in 3 of their last 5 matches.

Vitesse have 11pts more on the board than their hosts

Fortuna Sittard and Vitesse both took advantage of the winter break to play a couple of friendlies to keep their players match fit and we are expecting a competitive ninety minutes between the pair on Saturday. Games between these two clubs have tended to produce plenty of goals over the years, with five of the duos’ last seven encounters seeing over 2.5 goals scored. Five of Fortuna Sittard’s and four of Vitesse’s last six matches have also produced over 2.5 goals, so you can see why we are expecting plenty of goals from this weekends’ clash.

The hosts have played much better at home than they have on the road this season, securing all five wins in their own backyard, while Vitesse have performed well at home and on the road where they have picked up nine wins from eighteen matches. Fortuna Sittard score an average of 2.00 goals per home game but Vitesse have won 44% of their away games which is well above the league average of 30% which is why we have backed a 3-2 win for the visitors this weekend.

Both teams have been scoring plenty of goals of late

Over 2.5 goals have been scored in 56% of Fortuna Sittard’s home games as well as in 67% of Vitesse’s away games so far this season, with both teams scoring in 67% of the hosts’ games and 44% of the visitors’ away days. Fortuna Sittard have scored 18 goals at home and have conceded 12 while Vitesse have netted an impressive 15 times on the road but have conceded 14 goals, which is why we believe an away win would see both teams score.

Fortuna Sittard have scored in both halves of their home games 44% of the time and we are expecting goals in both halves of Saturday’s clash. Vitesse have scored three or more goals in three of their last five matches and each of those games have ended in victory for Saturday’s gusts, while Fortuna Sittard have conceded seven goals in their last three league games, which is another reason why we have backed Vitesse to pinch a 3-2 win this weekend.

We’re confident that over 2.5 goals will be scored in Saturday’s match and we have predicted a final scoreline of 3-2 in favour of Vitesse. We’re expecting a very close and competitive ninety minutes between these two teams but the visitors have more consistency and more scoring power in their side which is why we have backed Vitesse to win.
