Fortuna preview: Five wins on the bounce, could this be the sixth in a row?
Fortuna had a much better start to the season, having earned a 2-2 draw against Go Ahead Eagles in their first Eredivisie fixture this term. Interestingly, they have the better of Sunday's opponents in recent meetings, and that could serve as a morale booster for Sunday's clash.

Player to watch: Kristoffer Peterson
Krisstoffer Peterson was the standout performer for Fortuna Sittard last season, having recorded seven goals and two assists in 30 league outings. Although he is yet to score this term, he remains vital to the plans of the visiting side, and he will be desperate to break his duck in the new campaign.
