Picks and Best Predictions for Fortuna Sittard vs NEC Nijmegen
NEC had a real chance of taking one of the top eight places in the league, but by losing three straight games they failed to achieve that goal.
Contents
Both Teams to Score
It would be a big surprise if BTTS isn't covered in this bet. With nothing to fight for in the last 90 minutes of action for these teams, some goals should be scored on both sides of the field. We can get even more perspective for this Fortuna Sittard vs NEC Nijmegen prediction with the fact that four of the last five matches between these sides had both teams scoring at least one goal while looking at their recent league form, they didn't have many BTTS games. Fortuna had two while NEC only had one from their final five outings.
Over 2.5 Goals
Most games in the last round of Eredivisie don't have significant meaning when it comes to the outcome, and Fortuna vs NEC is one of those matches. Both teams are outside the danger zone, but also relatively close to the top ten even though they won't be able to break that barrier. Despite being the best ‘under' team this season, NEC Nijmegen changed that sentiment in the last five games, going over 2.5 goals in four of them. Fortuna has played three games with more than two goals in the back of the net from the same number of encounters. The last time they met was in the Cup match earlier in the season with NEC winning 3-2.

Team News, Preview, and Fortuna Sittard vs NEC Nijmegen Lineups
Fortuna Sittard
Even though they lost four out of their last five games, that run of bad form didn't cost them any significant problems regarding their Eredivisie status. When we look at their league standings, it seems that Fortuna was close to being relegated, but they avoided the worst scenario. Thomas Buitink and Burak Yilmaz are expected to miss the match while George Cox is injured.
Predicted lineup: Pandur, Pinto, Radic, Guth, Cox, Erdogan, Duarte, Noslin, Cordoba, Embalo, Gladon.
NEC Nijmegen
The visiting team is going to finish the season with the most draw games in the league at 14, but even that aspect of the game hasn't been talked about recently as the team kept losing matches. Just like their opponent on the final day of the football year, they lost four out of their last five games. Calvin Verdonk is doubtful to play while Lasse Schone and Dirk Proper are suspended.
Predicted lineup: Cillessen, El Karouani, Kramer, Sandler, Van Rooij, Tannane, Mattsson, Bruijn, de Wit, Rosendo Marques, Musaba.
Player to Watch: Paul Gladon
The experienced striker played fewer than 50 percent of all available minutes this season for the home team, but somehow managed to score six goals which is the second-best mark on the team. He has appeared in 26 matches this season.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
