Groningen vs Fortuna Sittard Predictions
- Groningen are on an eight-match unbeaten run at home, winning the last five
- Both teams to score has been a winning bet in just four of Fortuna Sittard’s 13 away matches this term
- Fortuna have won the last three meetings between the sides by an aggregate score of 7-3
Fortune to favour Fortuna
Fortuna Sittard are comfortably midtable in the Eredivisie, sat 10th after taking 24 points from their opening 20 matches, and look set to be too strong for their lower-league opposition on Thursday.
They are yet to claim any big scalps in the Dutch top flight this term, with the majority of their points coming via victories over sides languishing near the bottom of the table such as Vitesse and Volendam, but, with Groningen sat only sixth in Holland’s second-tier, that level of performance should be enough to see them reach a first semi-final since 1999.
Fortuna are unbeaten in their last four away matches, winning three and keeping three clean sheet in that run, suggesting they should have no issues as they travel to Groningen for this quarter-final, facing a side they have beaten three times in a row – racking up an aggregate score of 7-3 in that trio of victories.
End of the road for Groningen
Groningen will be quietly confident for this tie knowing they are at home, where they have won their last five matches as part of an eight-match unbeaten run, but the test Sittard will provide will be far greater than anything they have faced thus far.
They did beat Eredivisie side Excelsior in the last round, but those opponents are four places below Fortuna in the Dutch top flight, suggesting Sittard should fare better against the Eerste Divisie’s sixth-placed side.
The hosts have made it further in this tournament than they have in any season since their sensational lifting of the trophy in 2015, but Thursday’s match looks set to be the end of the road for Dick Lukkien’s side.
