Fortuna Sittard vs PSV Match Analysis & Prediction
12/05/2024 3:30 pm
With the Dutch crown already secured, PSV Eindhoven will be looking to break the 90-point mark in the Eredivisie when they travel to Fortuna Sittard Stadion to face Fortuna Sittard on Sunday evening.
Since their top-flight status was effectively sealed following a positive run of form at the beginning of March, Fortuna Sittard have endured a six-game winless run in the Eredivisie as their campaign begins to seriously peter out heading into the second-last weekend of the season.
However, they managed to halt a run of three straight defeats last time out, with Fortuna playing out a draw against Go Ahead Eagles on May 3, when both Luuk Koopmans and Jeffrey De Lange were able to add to their respective clean sheet tallies.
Having scored just three times in the last six matches – with two of those goals coming against bottom side Vitesse – there are serious concerns for Danny Buijs’ side in front of goal, with Fortuna netting just 36 goals dueing 32 league matches this season.
With six points left to fight for, Fortuna currently sit 11th in the Eredivisie standings, and with eighth place seven points ahead, there is no chance for Sittard making an unlikely push for a berth in next season’s Europa Conference League.
That being said Sittard would be in the conversation for a spot on the continental stage if the division was determined purely on home form, with Buijs’ side collecting 26 of their 36 Eredivisie points at Fortuna Sittard Stadion, losing just four times in 16 matches at their base.
Meanwhile, After their invincible status was wiped in unexpected circumstances by NEC at the end of March, PSV navigated their April Eredivisie schedule flawlessly with four straight wins before overcoming Sparta Rotterdam last weekend to begin May on a positive note.
With Brazilian Metinho breaching the net of Walter Benitez in the opening 10 minutes, it appeared as if PSV could be in for a difficult contest at Philips Stadion, but Boeren managed to rise above the challenge once again, with goals from Jerdy Schouten, Johan Bakayoko, Oliver Boscagli and Jordan Teze sealing a 4-2 victory.
Heading into the final two games of the season, PSV’s nine-point gap to second-placed Feyenoord means that Peter Bosz’s side will be lifting the title at their Eindhoven base on May 19, when the 25-time Dutch champions will host relegation-threatened RKC Waalwijk.
