The 30th round of the 2021-22 Eredivisie season concludes Sunday with a clash between Fortuna Sittard and Go Ahead Eagles kickoff at 5:45 pm.
The Sittard football team ended a three-game winless streak on Saturday by beating Sparta Rotterdam 3-0 at the Fortuna Sittard Stadion.
The Fortunezen took the lead after just 10 minutes through Mats Seuntjens; then Paul Gladon added two more goals to seal the win. As a result, Sjors Ultee’s men have moved a point clear of the relegation zone with just five matches left to play.
Next up is taking on an opponent who has won just one of their last four encounters with Team Jägermeister.
However, that lone victory came in the most recent clash between the two sides. In October, Team Jägermeister defeated Sunday’s hosts by a score of 4-3 at a previous meeting between the clubs.
Go Ahead Eagles dropped points in a tough 3-0 defeat away at Utrecht on Saturday. Quinten Timber, Othman Boussaid and Bart Ramselaar were all on the scoresheet as Kees Van Wonderen’s men fell flat at De Adelaarshorst. Before that, the Pride of the IJssel Kowet saw off the threat of Willem II 4-0 to make it nine points from the last nine available and move into the top half of the standings.
