Sittard – Sparta Rotterdam Picks & Prediction
Sittard - Sparta Rotterdam Prediction, Picks and Tips
Fortuna Sittard is currently in absolute top shape. On Wednesday, the Limburgers will cross swords with Sparta Rotterdam, which has been playing a great season so far.
Fortuna Sittard has been in great shape lately. From the beginning of December, the green angels played five Eredivisie matches, which yielded no less than thirteen points. As a result, Fortuna has moved up from the relegation zone to the middle bracket. Trainer changes do not always yield the desired result in football, but the replacement of Kevin Hofland by Sjors Ultee is undeniably a success. Last weekend, Ultee saw his team win again, in the away game at SC Heerenveen. In the first half Fortuna took full advantage of fumbling in the Frisian defense, after which they played a won game (1-3).
Zian Flemming was one of the goalscorers on Fortuna's side. He knows the victory not only because of the mistakes Heerenveen made. 'That was also because of us,' Flemming referred to the good pressure on the Ultee team. The trainer has few good reasons to change things in his base team. The club from Sittard said goodbye to one of the superfluous players this week. Jaroslaw Jach's employment was not a resounding success. The Polish defender returns to his homeland.
Sparta played the Rotterdam city derby on Sunday. Sparta could not really make it difficult for Feyenoord at its own Castle. Perhaps it was because of the early starting time, but Sparta did not seem completely focused. The club from South did not even have to play well to book a relatively simple 0-2 victory. "The disappointment is great," said defender Michael Heylen after the game. "We expected more from it."
Because of the defeat, Sparta remained in the middle bracket. The lead over the relegation zone is reassuring, but at the same time there is quite a gap to the play-off places. Participating in European football may not be a very realistic goal for the Castle Lords. Enforcement is and remains the primary goal of Henk Fraser and his players. After Sunday's underperformance, the coach may be tempted to give some other players a chance in the starting line-up. Bryan Smeets and Reda Kharchouch are two candidates for the starting eleven.
