- Team form: Fortuna Sittard have made a strong start to the Eredivisie 2026/2027 campaign, winning three and losing two of their last five matches.
- Away form: The visitors have also been sharp away from home, winning two and drawing one of their three road trips to date.
Fortuna favourites at 2.42
The odds favor Fortuna Sittard to beat Willem II in Tilburg on Saturday, and that's where we are going to leave our pick for the game at Koning Willem II Stadion. Fortuna are 2.42 favourites ahead of Willem II at 2.58 and the draw at 3.75, and it's the visitors who have been far superior in the early season.
Sittard have three wins and two losses from their last five games, and they've been particularly good away from home, staying unbeaten with 2 wins and 1 draw from 3 road trips. The 7th placed club have also hit eight away goals in their three Eredivisie 2026/2027 road trips, so they should have the firepower to hurt Willem II if the hosts don't manage to find their rhythm on Saturday.
The Tricolores have endured a mixed-to-flat start to the season, losing 0-3 at home to Excelsior and drawing 1-1 at AZ Alkmaar in their most recent games. John Stegeman's charges are currently 17th in the Eredivisie 2026/2027 after picking up just two points from their first five matches, and they're currently near the drop zone.
Tactical clash to determine outcome
Tactical setups
This game looks like it will be a tactical chess match between two clubs who go about things in different ways. Willem II are set up to be a compact and fast 4-4-2 who will get men behind the ball and try to punish mistakes with swift counter attacks. Fortuna meanwhile are much more organised and shape-first under Danny Buijs.
Key players
Devin Haen is the main goal threat for Willem II, with three goals from five Eredivisie 2026/2027 outings, and the Dutchman has two goals in the last four for the Tricolores. Fortuna are led in the scoring charts by Lequincio Zeefuik with three Eredivisie 2026/2027 goals, while the Curacao-born forward has three of Fortuna's last 10 and looks the best anytime goal scorer bet this weekend.
Fortuna can nick it
- It's Fortuna who will win this matchup if it's to be decided by the best player or team on the day, and the fact that they remain unbeaten away from home in the Eredivisie 2026/2027, coupled with the fact that they're in a better position in the table, means that they're the likelier winner.
- Nonetheless, Willem II's hunger for a win in front of their own fans could keep things close, and their 0-1-2 record at the Koning Willem II Stadion this season is cause for concern.
- An away win looks the most likely outcome, and Over 2.5 goals at 1.55 also makes the grade, while Both Teams to Score – Yes at 1.45 is another solid bet, as Fortuna are potent on their travels and the hosts should give it a good go.
