PEC Zwolle vs Fortuna Sittard Predictions

Zwolle lost 2-1 away at Twente before the international break and will be looking for a response from their players on Saturday, while Fortuna Sittard won 1-0 at home against Den Haag to move out of the relegation zone last time out but have struggled on the road this season.

All of the stats point towards both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals being produced in Saturday’s match and we have backed Zwolle to run out 3-2 winners in their own backyard.

Zwolle have won four of their last five matches against Fortuna Sittard and have won two of their six home games this season, while Fortuna Sittard have lost five of their six away games. Zwolle haven’t kept any clean sheets at home and Fortuna Sittard haven’t kept any clean sheets on the road so far this season, so you can start to see why we’re expecting goals at both ends of the pitch and a win for Zwolle this weekend.

Zwolle have scored an average of 2.33 goals per game at home but have conceded an average of 2.67 goals while Fortuna Sittard have conceded an average of 3.67 goals per game away from home and 50% of the visitors away games have produced five or more goals this season, which is why we have backed a 3-2 final score in favour of the hosts.

The performances from both teams only add weight to our prediction for plenty of goals in Saturday’s match, as over 2.5 goals have been scored in all of Zwolle’s home games this season as well as in 83% of Fortuna Sittard’s away games, while both teams have scored in 83% of Zwolle’s home games as and in 50% of Fortuna Sittard’s away games this season.

We’re confident that both teams will score and over 2.5 goals will be produced in Saturday’s match and we have predicted a final scoreline of 3-2 in favour of Zwolle. Fortuna Sittard have been very poor on the road and are yet to win away from home and have been conceding an average of over three goals per game on the road. Zwolle haven’t been at their best at home but have managed to win two of their six games in front of their own fans and have a good record against Saturday’s guests.
