Willem II vs Fortuna Sittard Predictions

• 14pts separate these two clubs heading into this weekends’ clash.
• Willem II head into this game as the form favourites hoping to extend their five-match unbeaten run.
• Fortuna Sittard have been hit and miss of late, performing much better at home than on the road.
• A defeat for the visitors could see them slip into the bottom three over the Christmas period.

The hosts are in form and look full of confidence

Willem II are unbeaten in their last four matches against Fortuna Sittard, picking up three wins and a draw, and both teams scored and over 2.5 goals were scored in six of the pairs’ last seven encounters, so you can start to see why we have backed a 3-1 win for the hosts this weekend.

Willem II have won four of their last six matches and Fortuna Sittard have lost their last six away games, and that is why we have backed a home win this weekend. Both teams scored and over 2.5 goals were produced in three of Willem II’s last five matches as well as in two of Fortuna Sittard’s last four matches, which adds weight to our prediction for a 3-1 home win on Saturday.

Willem II have won five of their eight home games this season and Fortuna Sittard have lost seven of their eight away games so far, with the hosts averaging 2.00 points per home game and the visitors averaging 0.13 points per away game. Willem II score an average of 1.50 goals per home game and concede an average of 0.88 goals and Fortuna Sittard score an average of 0.63 goals per away game and concede an average of 3.75 goals, and we can see the hosts increasing that average against the visitors’ leaky defence.

Fortuna Sittard’s away-day blues look set to continue this weekend

50% of Willem II’s home games have produced over 2.5 goals as have 88% of Fortuna Sittard’s away games and 50% of Willem II’s home games and Fortuna Sittard’s away games have also seen both teams score. Willem II have only kept clean sheets in 25% of their home games while Fortuna Sittard are yet to keep a clean sheet on the road, and we can’t see either side failing to score in Saturday’s clash.

We’re confident that Willem II will win on Saturday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 3-1. The hosts are flying in the Eredivisie right now and will be looking forward to the weekends’ clash, while Fortuna Soittard are still without a win on the road and seem unlikely to end that duck on Saturday.
