Heracles vs Fortuna Sittard Match Analysis & Prediction
07/12/2024 11:00 pm
Heracles will be looking to open up some gap between themselves and the relegation zone in the Eredivisie when they face Fortuna Sittard at Asito Stadion on Saturday night.
After 14 matches, the hosts are currently on 13 points, seven clear of second-bottom RKC Waalwijk but only two above Sparta Rotterdam in the relegation playoff spot.
Heracles have found wins hard to come by again this season and will enter matchday 14 of the campaign having only managed three league wins to date, while they have drawn four and lost seven of their remaining 11 games.
Last weekend, Heracles looked as though they had done enough to secure a hard-fought point away to AZ Alkmaar, but a Mayckel Lahdo strike in the final minute of regulation time denied them a share of the spoils.
That defeat marked their third successive game without victory, while they have only managed a single league win, which came against NAC Breda last month, in their last seven games.
On the positive note, Heracles have been fairly good when playing at home this season, picking up nine of their 13 points at Asito Stadio, with their only two defeats this season coming against formidable opponents in Ajax and PSV Eindhoven.
Meanwhile, Fortuna Sittard withstood a barrage of pressure after they took a 1-0 lead against Feyenoord last week, but after holding firm for almost an hour, they were ultimately breached in the 81st minute and were forced to share the points.
That result was Fortuna’s third successive game without a win following back-to-back defeats to PEC Zwolle and Twente, which is a significant drop-off from going unbeaten in five matches before that.
Their winless run has seen them slip two places in the league standings in the last couple of weeks, and if they are to start making ground up on the sides above them, Danny Buijs is going to need to find more attacking output from his side, as their 15 goals to date is the fewest in the top half of the table and the third-lowest in the division.
Heracles vs. Fortuna Sittard Head to head
