Fortuna Sittard vs Twente prediction: Plucky upstarts vs top five regulars

Key stats

• Fortuna Sittard have been the tightest Eredivisie defence in recent weeks, with just three goals conceded in their last five.
• Twente have scored 11 goals in their last four against Fortuna, conceding none.
• Sem Steijn of Twente is the top scorer in the league, with eight goals.

Correct score prediction: Fortuna Sittard 1-2 Twente

Fortuna Sittard are enjoying a fine season, the culmination of steady work done since their 2018 promotion back to the top flight. Their current seventh place would be their best finish since the 1990s.

However, Twente will likely have too much even for their stingy defence. Sem Steijn has been in fine form, and The Tukkers also boast the second best expected goal difference in the league.

Last five H2Hs: Twente dominance

As is to be expected given the gap in resources between the pair, Twente have certainly had the upper hand over Fortuna Sittard in recent years, winning seven of the last ten matchups.

However, Fortuna will feel more confident on home turf, having won two of the last five at their own ground.

Fortuna Sittard preview: Europe awaits

Despite nearly going broke in 2006, Fortuna Sittard are hoping this could be the season they end their 26 year absence from European football.

The Limburgian club have built a rock solid defence that has carried them up to seventh place, which could see them qualify for the Europa Conference League.

Besting Twente will be no mean feat, but Fortuna will be more than up for the fight.

Predicted lineup: Branderhorst (GK), Adewoye, Guth, Rosier, Pinto, Bastien, Dahlhaus, Fosso, Dijks, Halilovic, Da Cruz
