Fortuna Sittard to Win
Cambuur finally won only their third match of the season when they beat Groningen with a single goal as the difference maker earlier in the week, but now are facing a team that is better prepared and ranked than their last opponent. Interestingly, one of the three wins Cambuur has earned this season was accomplished against Fortuna at the start of the season, and it was a high goalscoring match with Cambuur winning 4-1. But, things have changed since then in a significant way. Cambuur was last-placed for months before they beat Groningen who in return replaced them at the bottom of the league standings. Cambuur won the last two games against Fortuna, and the Sittard team got the better of their next opponent in three matches before that. Fortuna has been performing better this season, in the previous round they beat Heerenveen 2-0, and as far as their away form goes, they have a couple of wins and draws with four losses. Cambuur's home form is the worst in the league, they have won a single game while losing eight.
Under 2.5 Goals
Even though Cambuur has the worst attack in Eredivisie, there is a predicted way of them having a high goalscoring matches against Fortuna. In the last five matches between these teams, four of them covered over 2.5 goals. However, when we look at this season's form for Cambuur it's hard to see a lot of goals this time around, even though they had four out of ten scored this season in the first game against Fortuna. But, overall, Cambuur has scored only three goals at home this season. Fortuna is much more efficient in away matches with ten goals scored.

Team News, Preview, and Provisional Lineups
Cambuur
The home team's fans have already begun preparation for their club to return to the Second Division, but maybe there is still hope after Cambuur beat Groningen and got within three points of safety. There is still a long way to go before anything is determined, but the home side understands that there are things that need to be taken care of if they are to survive the Eredivisie season. Mostly, it's about scoring goals, or lack off. Cambuur has been the worst team in the league when it comes to setting goals, and every game further down the road that they fail to score will cost them potentially valuable points. Robin Maulun is injured, while Jhondly van der Meer, Mimoun Mahi, and Maxim Gullit are doubtful to play.
Provisional lineup: Ruiter, Schmidt, Tol, Smand, Bangura, van Kaam, Jacobs, Hoedemakers, Breij, van der Water, Paulissen.
Fortuna Sittard
The visiting team is somewhat safe from being relegated, at least at the moment. They are six points clear of the relegation zone, and with occasional wins, they are moving in the right direction. But, matches against teams like Cambuur are the key for them because they are facing opponents that are not better, or even equal when it comes to the quality of the players involved. The guest squad doesn't have any injury concerns before the trip to Leeuwarden.
Provisional lineup: Pandur, Cox, Guth, Navarro, Pinto, Ferati, Bistrovic, Embalo, Ozyakup, Cordoba, Yilmaz.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
