Sports Mole

Off the back of contrasting results last time out, Fortuna Sittard and Vitesse face off at the Fortuna Sittard Stadion on Wednesday.

The sides come into this one looking to get one over each other following a 1-1 stalemate in September's reverse fixture.


Match preview

Sittard made it three league wins from their last four outings by beating FC Twente 2-1 at De Grolsch Veste on Saturday.

Zian Flemming turned out to be the hero for Sjors Ultee's men once again, netting two first-half goals either side of Ricky van Wolfswinkel's equaliser.

The Fortunezen continue to stay afloat of danger as they remain three points clear of the relegation zone with two games remaining.

Awaiting them next is the challenge of a Vitesse outfit who have not lost any of the most recent five encounters between the sides.

However, only the current top three teams have amassed more points over the last five match days than Wednesday's hosts, who can all but preserve their top-flight status with a victory in this one.

Vitesse fell to a disappointing 2-1 defeat against Heerenveen in Sunday's contest at the GelRedome.

Thomas Letsch's men took the lead on the stroke of half time through Matus Bero's penalty before a second-half double from Amin Sarr turned the game on its head.

In all fairness, the defeat has little ramifications for Geel en Zwart, with the Arnhem-based outfit still sixth in the Eredivisie table and guaranteed to secure a place in the qualifiers of the Conference League playoffs.

Having ended an eight-game winless away streak in their last outing on the road, Wednesday's visitors now set out to pick up consecutive away wins for the first time since October.

Team News

Fortuna's Ben Rienstra and Dimitrios Siovas are out of contention for Wednesday through muscle and ankle injuries respectively.

A finger problem means that Michael Verrips is also unavailable for the home side, but George Cox is fit again after making his return to the starting XI last time out.

With five goals in his last five appearances, 23-year-old Zian Flemming is certainly one to keep an eye on in this one.

Once again, Vitesse will have to make do with the absence of German defender Maximilian Wittek, who has missed the last three games with an ankle injury.

Jeroen Houwen and Dominik Oroz are not expected to feature again this season, while Yann Gboho also remains sidelined.

Fortuna Sittard possible starting lineup:
Van Osch; Cox, Samaris, Angha, Pinto; Tekie, Duarte; Seuntjens, Flemming, Noslin; Gladon

Vitesse possible starting lineup:
Schubert; Doekhi, Cornelisse, Rasmussen; Dasa, Bero, Tronstad, Hajek; Manhoef, Openda, Buitink

Fortuna have been in good form of late, and coupled with the advantage of playing in front of their fans, we are tipping them to emerge triumphant, albeit by only a narrow margin.
