Player to watch – Alen Halilovic
Once considered a wonderkid and potential superstar, Croatian midfielder Alen Halilovic is currently plying his trade with Fortuna Sittard in the Netherlands, and the 28-year-old has been in fine form in the new campaign’s early exchanges.
Halilovic in good goal-scoring form
Halilovic managed to find the net in two of Fortuna’s first three Eredivisie fixtures of the campaign and he needs just two more goals to match his entire haul for the previous season. With his confidence brimming, he could provide a goal threat again on Sunday.
