Utrecht vs Fortuna Sittard Predictions

Utrecht beat Sparta Rotterdam 2-1 away last weekend and could move into the Champions League places with a win on Sunday. Fortuna Sittard have endured a difficult start to the new season but their recent home form has provided some much-needed positivity, though they are without a win on the road.

All of the stats point towards goals being scored at both ends of the pitch this weekend and we’re backing Utrecht to run out comfortable 3-1 winners in the end.

Utrecht have won four of the pairs’ last six encounters and are unbeaten in their last six matches against Fortuna Sittard. Both teams scored in four of the last six matches between these two clubs, so you can see why we’ve backed both teams to score on Sunday as well.

The form of the two teams heading into this weekends’ clash only adds weight to our prediction for a home win, as Utrecht have won four of their last six matches and Fortuna Sittard have lost three of their last six.

The performances of both teams during the last month or so provides plenty of reasons to expect goals at both ends of the pitch this weekend, as both teams scored in four of Utrecht’s and four of Fortuna Sittard’s last six matches. Utrecht have scored in all of their last six matches and Fortuna Sittard have only kept one clean sheet in their last six attempts, and we believe that makes our prediction for a 3-1 final score look even more realistic.

Utrecht have scored three goals in two of their last six matches and both were at home and both ended in victory, while Fortuna Sittard have twice conceded over 2.5 goals in their last six matches and each of those games ended in defeat.

We’re confident that both teams will score in Sunday’s clash and have predicted a final scoreline of 3-1 in Utrecht’s favour. The hosts head into the match as the clear form favourites and will be expected to secure all three points, while Fortuna Sittard’s dismal away form this season means that a draw would be considered an excellent result this weekend.
