8th placed Heerenveen will no doubt be eager to return to the home comforts of their Abe Lenstra Stadion after being dealt a disappointing 3-0 loss away from home at AZ Alkmaar in the Dutch top flight action last time out, especially as the hosts had put together a five-match unbeaten run overall.

Four wins within their preceding five games in the Eredivisie had helped Heerenveen up into one of the qualifying spots for Europe in the division thanks to recent victories gained over Sparta Rotterdam, Excelsior, Telstar and Heracles respectively.

Results on home soil have also been reasonable enough for Robin Veldman’s side as the hosts possess a fairly reliable looking home record of 7-5-3 31/23 which includes winning their last four home games on the trot.

Fortuna Sittard have stumbled on rocky ground in recent weeks in the Dutch Eredivisie as the visitors have managed to capture just one win from their previous five league matches which came in the form of a 2-1 win away from home at fourth from bottom outfit Volendam.

However, Fortuna Sittard have also been handed no fewer than three defeats within these previous five matches in the Eredivisie resulting in losses at the hands of Telstar, Twente and AZ respectively, while the bigger picture shows Danny Buijs’ side have collected just three wins in their last 10 outings overall.

In addition, an overall away record standing at a below-par 4-2-9 20/30 suggests another tough night at the office for Fortuna Sittard who have struggled on the road against their upcoming Friday night’s opponents.

The Betting Verdict

Heerenveen have won three of their last four meetings at home with Fortuna Sittard.
