Fortuna Sittard - FC Zwolle predictions and free betting tips [16/03/2024]

In Sittard, a game between two mid-table teams, eyeing a Europa League spot in Eredivisie, will ensue. Fortuna will clash with Zwolle on their home ground. Zwolle, under the guidance of Danny Buijs, is slightly closer to the elite eight, whereas 'stars carriers' are in a crisis, lying five points down from the 8th spot, which officially allows for a claim on the UEFA Conference League. 

Fortuna

Danny Buijs is doing a satisfactory job ensuring the team remains distanced from the bottom-rung group. Likely, the management has no other requirements, except that Fortuna should target a mid-table position in Eredivisie. There's potential to edge into the elite eight, yet it's pointless contemplating it at the moment, considering there are enough contenders for Europa leagues, specifically the Conference League, which includes some considerably more robust clubs, therefore the team from Sittard hardly could break in.

Last round saw Fortuna managing not to lose to Ajax in Amsterdam, with a win even within reach. Now in good form, unlike Zwolle, the Sittard-based team are the favourites for this match.

Zwolle

There was a period, just recently, when Zwolle's game was going well, being next to the leading group. Then, Jhonny Jansen's team suffered a loss to Almere City (0:1), followed by a heavy defeat (1:7) against PSV, another loss, then a draw (1:1) against FC Volendam, where they needed to emerge victors against this season's main underdogs.

Wading through a slight crisis, Zwolle could rectify the situation with just a good match. Perhaps, troubleshooting could be done in Sittard, where the aim, at least, would be to hold their ground. Zwolle has what it takes to potentially outplay Fortuna, but at a minimum, Jhonny Jansen's players can manage not to lose in this match.

Head-to-Head

In the first round, Zwolle easily defeated the team from Sittard with a score (2:0), dominating both halves of the confrontation.

Match Forecast: Fortuna vs Zwolle

The previous round match against FC Volendam proved that Zwolle is still competitive, albeit with system problems. Fortuna is just fine, but against Zwolle, they may face a hard time on all fronts, hence my bet in this match is X2.

Forecast for Individual Total of Goals Scored by Zwolle
