Fortuna Sittard, Recent FormFortuna Sittard will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 1-0 away win against RKC Waalwijk. During that encounter they had 45% possession and had 15 attempts on goal with 6 on target, while their opponents hit 0 of their 6 shots on goal.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 6 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 9 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 1 clean sheet in those games.
It's been a mixed run of form for Fortuna recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
Excelsior, Recent FormThe 2-1 home defeat to Vitesse will not have sat easily with the Excelsior squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. They achieved 46% possession in that match and had 12 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Vitesse's tally of 14 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
Supremo Marinus Dijkhuizen will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 12 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 8 goals they've managed to net. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, away from home this season, they have scored in 10 of their 11 games played.
Excelsior will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form, having lost 4 league games in a row no wins in 5 games.
Troy Parrott will be hoping to create problems for Fortuna Sittard in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Excelsior.
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 2-2 draw.
The Roodzwarten defence has struggled at Fortuna Sittard Stadion, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 7 visits.
Playing at home, Fortuna have won the last 2 and are unbeaten in the last 7 times they have faced Excelsior in the league.
There is only really one injury concern for the Fortuna manager Danny Buijs ahead of this clash, with Loreintz Rosier (Unknown) missing out, which gives Buijs a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Marinus Dijkhuizen has a number of injury concerns in his Excelsior squad to contend with: Raphaël Eyongo (Ankle), Lennard Hartjes (Knee), Kik Pierie (Foot) and Serano Seymor (Unknown)
