Command Analysis
NEC Nijmegen
NetherlandsCurrent form
Before the start of the season, Nijmegen was considered one of the clear contenders for a place in the top eight, but did not live up to expectations in the first round. At the moment, Roger Meyer team is in 12th place in the table with 20 points, but still has a chance to fight for the eighth place - Fortuna is only five points ahead. In the last round, Nijmegen beat Zwolle 1:0 away, thus putting an end to a long unsuccessful series of six matches and managing to join the fight for the eighth place.
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no problems with the squad.
Interesting trends for betting
- Nijmegen have only won one of their last seven matches
- Nijmegen have scored in their last two matches
Probable line-up: Roofs - Pereira, Marques, Sandler, Verdonk - Proper, Hoedemaekers, Ouissa, Van Croy, Sano - Ogawa.
Fortuna Sittard
NetherlandsCurrent form
Fortuna, like its current opponent, was among the obvious contenders for a place in the top eight before the start of the season – the selection of players allowed them to set such goals. At the moment, Danny Beis' team occupies eighth place in the table with 25 points, but at the same time it is only three points ahead of 11th Breda – one mistake can result in a fall down several lines at once. In the last round, Fortuna lost 0:3 to Go Ahead Eagles, thus breaking a series of four matches without defeat.
Disqualifications and injuries
Sirheis is injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Fortuna have suffered only one defeat in their last five matches
- Fortuna have not beaten Nijmegen in their last six matches - three defeats and three draws
Estimated line-up: Branderhorst - Dahlhaus, Rosier, Gut, Adewoye, Pinto - Tunjic, Fosso, Michu, Halilovic - Da Cruz.

2.25Tip and bets
Nijmegen got a long-awaited victory in the last round, which helped them get back into the race for a place in the top eight. It is obvious that today the hosts will be maximally motivated and charged only for victory – the pressure on the visitors’ goal will certainly be enormous from the first minutes. Fortuna is far from ideal in defense, but there is a risk of falling out of the top eight, so the Sittard players will also take risks and go forward with great force – an exchange of goals is almost inevitable.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Betting Tip - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.85
Bet on the outcome
Nijmegen put an end to a long losing streak in the last round and will definitely be looking to build on their success against their direct competitor today. The selection of players allows the hosts to set themselves maximum goals today and there is definitely a chance of success – Fortuna is far from ideal in defense, has only two victories away from home this season, and in the last six matches the Sittard team has not beaten their opponent.
The bet is for Nijmegen to win. This bet is offered at 1.79
Bet on corners
Nijmegen are the favourites and will probably spend most of the match attacking – the home team should win confidently on corners.
