Prediction

  • Fortuna Sittard are currently struggling, remaining winless in five consecutive Eredivisie matches as they prepare to face AZ at the AFAS Stadion on Sunday. AZ are in fifth place with 40 points, tied on points with fourth-placed Feyenoord, who currently hold a spot in the Europa League qualifiers. AZ secured a 2-0 victory at home against PEC Zwolle in their last Eredivisie match.
  • In contrast, Fortuna Sittard lost 2-0 to Ajax at the Fortuna Sittard Stadion in their most recent league outing, which extended their winless streak to five matches. As a result, Fortuna sits in 11th place with 26 points, having scored 29 goals and conceded 40 over 22 matches. They are just one point behind eighth-placed Groningen, a position that would allow them to compete in the UEFA Conference League Play-offs.
  • The last Eredivisie encounter between these two teams saw Fortuna claim a 1-0 victory at Fortuna Sittard Stadion in October, with Rodrigo Guth scoring the only goal in the 78th minute.
  • This season, AZ has been bolstered by the remarkable attacking ability of Troy Parrott, who leads the club with 12 goals—ranking him as the second-highest scorer in the league for the 2024/2025 season. Notably, six of his goals have been the opening scores of the match.
  • For Fortuna, Kristoffer Peterson and Ezequiel Bullaude have been crucial. Peterson has scored six goals, while Bullaude has netted five.
  • At home, AZ has achieved six wins, one draw, and four losses in 11 Eredivisie matches this season. Conversely, Fortuna has recorded two wins, five draws, and four losses in their away games.
