Top Bets and Predictions for Fortuna Sittard vs Go Ahead Eagles
This will be a meeting of teams that are next to each other in the Eredivisie rankings and looking to gain some momentum in their fight to stave off relegation.
Contents
Under 2.5 Goals
Go Ahead Eagles are one of the teams with the lowest mark of ‘over' games in Eredivisie, even though they had some high-scoring games in the last few matches before the World Cup break. But, as is usually the case when teams are coming back from long breaks, it's going to take time to find their footing offensively, and that goes for both teams.
Draw
Only one team has more draw games than the Eagles, it's NEC Nijmegen who has eight draws. Go Ahead Eagles have drawn six times. Even though it's been a long time since these teams played a draw game, this is the perfect opportunity to recapture that score because of their current league status, and the relevance of this match.

Possible Lineups, Preview, and Team News
Fortuna Sittard
Fortuna had some problems scoring goals, but that changed in the final part of the season before the hiatus caused by the World Cup. Those changes came to fruition during their friendly matches where they continue to score goals, and that improvement needs to be visible the most when it matters. Their defending, however, is the real issue. Even in those friendlies, they conceded in every game, and are at 25 allowed goals in the league this season. Vasilios Sourlis, Oguzhan Ozyakup, and Dimitrios Siovas are injury casualties for the home team, but their most important player is ready to go. The Turkish veteran Burak Yilmaz will be the focus of Eagles defenders, but he is not the only danger to the visitor's goal. Paul Gladon will try to build on his stats for the season.
Possible lineup: Pandur, Pinto, Navarro, Guth, Cox, Cordoba, Ferati, Erdogan, Vita, Gladon, Yilmaz.
Go Ahead Eagles
They are above their opponents in the rankings courtesy of a better goal difference, but those margins are small to be considered serious, especially in this part of the season. The Eagles had a slightly more efficient first 14 games of the season and will be looking to further improve down the road. Both of those teams are going to fight hard to stave off relegation, and for the Eagles, away games are an especially important factor as they only have one win the entire season when playing as a guest team. Some players are doubtful to play: Philippe Rommens, Federico Mattiello, and Erwin Mulder. During the training period, they played only one friendly match losing to Feyenoord by the score you don't see every day, it was 7-4.
Possible lineup: De Lange, Kuipers, Idzes, Amofa, Deijl, Rommens, Linthorst, Edvardsen, Adekanye, Willumsson, Lidberg.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.

Player to Watch: Oliver Valaker Edvardsen
The left-wing player from Norway scored five goals this season and is the leading scorer for the team. The 23-year-old has been in a consistent run of form the entire season playing in all 14 league games. This is his first season in the club coming over from Norway's team Stabaek, and he is for sure someone to watch over the final part of the year.
