Match Preview
The two teams are at opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of defensive performance. Fortuna Sittard’s back line has been far from solid, conceding 36 goals which is quite worrying for a team that has only managed 27 goals in 22 games.
The presence of young Burak Yılmaz has become a rare bright spot for the team as he has scored 9 goals for Sittard. However, their recent 3-1 away defeat against Waalwijk has cost Fortunezen three important points.
On the other hand, Feyenoord’s defense is solid and rock solid, conceding only 20 goals in the same number of games. Their attacking power cannot be underestimated either, having scored 49 goals so far.
Feyenoord still leads the Eredivisie standings with 49 points, ahead of AZ Alkmaar and 3 points from the defending champion, Ajax Amsterdam.

Team News
Fortuna Sittard full-back and fashion icon, Ivo Pinto, may miss the upcoming game through injury. Coach Sjors Ultee must find a replacement for Pinto who has been absent from the team’s last two games.
When it comes to age, Fortuna’s troops may have a slight disadvantage. Their average starting XI is three years older than their opponents Feyenoord. However, they are not a team that can be underestimated, and they will definitely give everything on the field to improve their position, which is now sitting in 11th place in the standings with 26 points.
On the other hand, Feyenoord will have to continue their campaign without Justin Bijlow. The visiting team’s first-choice keeper is expected to be out until the end of March. In the four games he has missed with a broken wrist, the team has conceded eight goals but still managed to win three of them.
Other players not expected to be included in tonight’s line-up include Gernot Trauner and Sebastian Szymanski, who are currently undergoing treatment for a knee injury. Then Patrik Walemark who is still recovering from a thigh problem and is unlikely to start this weekend.
Tonight’s match will certainly test the resilience and depth of both teams’ squads. Will Fortuna Sittard be able to withstand the Feyenoord attack without Pinto? Can Feyenoord maintain their winning record without Bijlow and their injured players? We will see later.
