Your Web 3 Guru and Moonbet presenting todays match: Fortuna Sittard – PEC Zwolle
Fortuna Sittard managed to hold Ajax to a draw for the second time this season last weekend and can still secretly dream of qualifying for European football playoffs. Danny Buijs’s team sits in tenth place, just two points behind the current eighth-placed team, FC Utrecht. Kaj Sierhuis inflicted pain on his former employer Ajax by scoring in the 2-2 draw at the ArenA, highlighting his excellent form in recent weeks.
The center forward has been responsible for five goals and two assists in his last three matches alone. He seems to have a good understanding on the field with newcomer Justin Lonwijk, who will be joining the Suriname national team for the first time next week. Lately, Fortuna has been particularly sloppy in defense. In their last four home matches, they have conceded at least two goals each time.
PEC Zwolle
PEC Zwolle has only collected two points from their last five matches, experiencing a rather mediocre period that makes qualifying for European football playoffs increasingly difficult. A victory could see Zwolle surpass Fortuna in the standings based on goal difference alone. With just one loss in their last six away matches (W2, D3), they are certainly not without a chance.
Hot Stats
The absence of the injured playmaker Younes Namli is clearly felt by the Blauwvingers. Only PSV’s Joey Veerman has created more chances in the Eredivisie this season (54) than the creative Dane, who has been sidelined for two matches already. It would be especially satisfying for coach Johnny Jansen to emerge victorious from this fixture amidst the recent criticism from Zwolle’s supporters.
Players to watch: Lonwijk has been involved in three goals in his last two matches (1 goal, 2 assists). Davy Van Den Berg scored his fifth league goal of the season last weekend and was also on target in his last encounter against Fortuna.
Hot stat: Fortuna has conceded at least two goals in five of their last six league matches.
