Fortuna Sittard vs Go Ahead Eagles Betting Tips - BTTS
Go Ahead Eagles will be looking to extend their unbeaten run to four matches when they face their first fixture of 2025 against Fortuna on Friday evening.
Led by rookie boss Paul Simonis, the Eagles have enjoyed a fine run of form in recent weeks, picking up three wins and one draw from their last five Eredivisie matches. Now up to seventh in the division, the visitors sit ahead of Fortuna on goal difference after a 2:1 win against NAC Breda in December.
The Pride of the IJssel have found their shooting boots, scoring 15 goals in their five most recent fixtures. Go Ahead scored at least two goals in seven of eight previous league contests. However, clean sheets remain rare with only three kept in their last 14 league outings.
Recent matches have been high-scoring with five of Go Ahead´s last six matches seeing both teams score and a minimum of three goals scored.
Fortuna return to action this weekend after a similarly strong run of form before the recent winter break. Danny Buijs´s men are unbeaten in their last four Eredivisie matches after a thumping 5:2 win at Utrecht last month.
An entertaining side to watch, goals are near-inevitable when Fortuna have been involved over the past couple of months. FSC saw at least three goals scored in eight of their last nine competitive fixtures. BTTS also occurred in each of their last six Eredivisie contests while an average of four goals per game were scored in their seven most recent league fixtures.
While previous meetings between these sides have often proved low-scoring, both sides' recent form indicates a more entertaining affair should be on the cards on Friday.
BTTS is my preferred pick while I also fancy a minimum of three goals scored at Fortuna Sittard Stadion.
