Fortuna Sittard suffered a 1-4 defeat from Groningen in the previous round. The team is not doing well right now. After 13 matches, the Yellow-Greens have nine points in their assets. This is enough to be on the 17th line in the direct relegation zone. Fortuna is the most conceding team in the Eredivisie — 32 times the ball flew into its net.
In the last draw of the Dutch championship, AZ Alkmaar had certain problems but beat Fortuna Sittard at home (1-0). In the 21st century, the Cheese Farmers lost to the Yellow-Greens only once at home. It happened back in 2001. Six of the last seven head-to-head matches in Alkmaar ended with “Both teams to score — no.” With all due respect to the visitors, they have no chance of winning now. Despite all its problems, AZ Alkmaar is a team of a much higher level. Beyond that, the team has historically performed powerfully in the home arena. The hosts have extremely high motivation now. If they win, they will immediately rise to 8th place in the standings.
Prediction for the match: AZ Alkmaar to win with -1.0 handicap
