Fortuna to grab a point
This might be a big call given how poor Fortuna Sittard have been so far in the season but at some point they're going to get a result and we believe this could be the time they grab their first point of the campaign. NEC sit much prettier in the table than their visitors but their recent form hasn't been amazing; they have won just one of their last five games but have drawn each of their last three. Fortuna Sittard meanwhile have lost each one of their league games this season but, notably, they have a good head to head record against NEC. Of the last five meetings they've won two and drawn another two. With all of that considered, we see this game ending level.
Both teams will score
Our next tip for this match is that both teams will score goals. NEC have seen three of their last four matches end with both teams on the scoresheet whilst Fortuna Sittard have seen each of their last three games end in the same way whilst just one of their past five have featured a clean sheet. On top of that, the head to head record between these teams leans towards a BTTS ‘yes' bet as well; four of the last five clashes have seen goals at both ends.

Can Fortuna Sittard grab their first point?
NEC are hovering just below the Eredivisie top seven right now and a win here could see them jump into those European playoff places whilst Fortuna Sittard haven't even banked a point as yet. Admittedly, it's really early days but it's already becoming clear where the two sides will be aiming this season.
NEC have made an okay start to the campaign and will look at a home game against Sittard as a very winnable match. With Phillipe Sandler and Mathias de Wolf the only known absentees, they should be fielding a strong side as well.
NEC Predicted lineup – Cillessen, van Rooij, Marquez, Kramer, Verdonk, Schone, Duelund, Proper, Dimata, Tavsan, El Karouani
Fortuna Sittard have made an utterly terrible start to their Eredivisie campaign as they sit rock bottom of the standings with zero points from five games played. The one positive note for Dom Vergooseen is that his side have no injury concerns.
Fortuna Sittard Predicted lineup – van Osch, Cox, Ciovas, Guth, Tirpan, Erdogan, Duarte, Ferati, Noslin, Seuntjens, Gladon
