Your Web 3 Guru and Moonbet presenting todays match: Fortuna Sittard – Excelsior Rotterdam
Fortuna Sittard has a significant opportunity on Sunday afternoon to edge closer to securing their survival. While also keeping a close eye on the battle for ninth place in the Eredivisie. With NEC and Feyenoord securing spots in the KNVB Cup final. It appears that finishing ninth almost guarantees participation in the postseason European play-offs.
Danny Buijs’ team is taking a cautious approach, focusing on one step at a time. Following RKC Waalwijk’s setback last week, Excelsior Rotterdam poses as their next opponent from the relegation zone. They are eager to avoid the relegation playoffs. After the previous round, Sittard held a nine-point lead over RKC in 16th place and aims to maintain that cushion. Meanwhile, they are only two points behind ninth place ahead of the weekend.
Excelsior Rotterdam
Excelsior shares a common plight with Fortuna Sittard, having suffered setbacks in the Eredivisie after their elimination from the KNVB Cup by FC Groningen. Despite a notable 3-2 home victory over Heerenveen and a draw against FC Utrecht, defeats to Almere, Twente, Sparta, and Vitesse have left Excelsior looking downwards rather than upwards.
Excelsior’s struggles have been particularly evident against lower-ranked opponents, failing to defeat any team outside the top ten (D4, L5) thus far. As a result, the gap to the relegation zone is narrowing, making direct relegation a plausible scenario alongside the potential promotion-relegation playoff from 16th place. Only FC Volendam seems to have stepped out of contention for the 2024/25 season’s 18 places.
Hot Stats
Players to watch include Kaj Sierhuis (G6, A1), who stood out for Fortuna Sittard last weekend, while for Excelsior, Lance Duijvestijn’s (G2) opening goal did not secure a favorable result against Vitesse.
Hot stat: Despite conceding in four out of their five wins, all five of Fortuna’s home victories this Eredivisie season came against teams ranked below them at the start of the round.
