Fortuna Sittard vs Excelsior H2H Stats, Lineups and Live Stream

Preview

Fortuna Sittard take on Excelsior in the Eredivisie of Netherlands on October 25, with the match kicking off at 10:15 your local time.

As Fortuna Sittard and Excelsior meet again, the memory of Fortuna Sittard's 2-1 win in their Eredivisie match from 8 months ago still lingers. Fortuna Sittard head into the match on the back of two consecutive draws, with NEC and Twente, pushing their unbeaten streak to four games. To convert draws into stronger outcomes, strengthening their backline will be key, especially since they have allowed goals in six consecutive home matches.

Excelsior are in a poor form, preparing for the match after two consecutive losses against Heerenveen and Groningen, marking five games without a single win. Their backline remains a concern, conceding goals in their last five matches in a row.

This Eredivisie match offers a platform for Fortuna Sittard and Excelsior’s goal-scorers to step up and leave their mark on the contest. Fortuna Sittard’s Mohamed Ihattaren and top finisher Anthony Descotte have played important roles in ensuring their attack, under Danny Buijs’s management, remains effective. Descotte leads Fortuna Sittard’s scoring charts in Eredivisie this season with five goals, as Ihattaren continues to lead their creative efforts in the tournament with three assists. Fortuna Sittard’s offense has also been strengthened by Lequincio Zeefuik, Edouard Michut and Philip Brittijn, who have provided crucial contributions in the final third.

Meanwhile, Excelsior’s attacking options, with Ruben den Uil steering the side, have been bolstered by Irakli Yegoian, the team’s top scorer, and Aymen Sliti, both of whom have contributed crucial goals and assists. Yegoian has emerged as Excelsior’s leading scorer in Eredivisie this season, netting three goals, while also being their most creative player, providing five assists in the league so far. Excelsior have also relied on David Garden, Simon Janssen and Noah Naujoks to energize their attack through key shots and passes.
