Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Almere City and Fortuna Sittard square off against each other at Yanmar Stadion in the closing match of Saturday’s program. Almere did well to beat Volendam on the road in their last league match, with the team climbing to 12th place in the standings, but they do not want to stop now. Comoros international Fazi Mattoir remains on the sidelines with injury, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
The visitors, on the other hand, aim to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Nijmegen and Sparta Rotterdam and seeing that the visitors will go for a victory as well, we predict that both sides will find the net in the Yanmar Stadion clash. Mouhamed Belkheir should start from the bench once again after failing to convert a penalty against the Rotterdammers, while Deroy Duarte is representing Cape Verde at the Africa Cup of Nations.
Highlighted Team (Sittard):
Fortuna Sittard is one of the newer additions to Dutch football as the club was founded on July 1, 1968. During the 1990s talented footballers such as Kevin Hofland, Mark van Bommel, and Fernando Ricksen played for the club, but they failed to close the gap between Dutch giants Ajax and PSV. In 1999, though, the Fortunezen did well to make it to the Dutch Cup final, with the team facing Ajax in the title game.
Amsterdammers defeated Fortuna Sittard 2-0 at De Kuip, with Jesper Gronkjaer scoring a brace. Fortuna Sittard players wear yellow shirts and green shorts when playing at home, while their away kit is white. The Fortunezen host their rivals at Fortuna Sittard Stadion. The venue was built in 1999, and it can hold up to 12,500 spectators.
Aforementioned midfielder Mark Van Bommel is the most notable footballer who played for the club. After ending his spell with Fortuna Sittard in 1999, Mark van Bommel played for the likes of PSV, Barcelona, Bayern Munchen, and Milan.
