Fortuna Sittard is moving at the right pace this season, and it seems they'll finish the season inside the European football spots. However, the current mood at Fortuna Sittard Stadion has been filled with frustration.
Fortuna has failed to win any of their last four matches in the Eredivisie, recording three losses and a solitary draw. Most recently, they drew 2-2 against Heerenveen on the road to salvage a point.
Before this slump, Sittard was on a two-match winning streak beating RKC Waalwijk (3-2) and high-flying FC Utrecht (5-2).

Ajax Amsterdam is currently having a blast under the Francesco Farioli era compared to their horrendous 2023-24 Eredivisie season. The home team has lost the fewest game this season (2) and this has seen them go deep in the title race discussions with two measly points separating them from the top.
In their most recent match, it seemed the Amsterdammers were headed for a 1-1 draw against Feyenoord on Sunday. However, Kenneth Taylor was the man and savior who threw the script out the window to score in the dying embers of the game to guide his team to a crucial 2-1 home victory.
Thanks to that result, they can now call themselves the invincibles as they have now won five consecutive matches in the Eredivisie. During this commendable run, they kept three clean sheets and scored an impressive 11 goals.

Expert Betting Tips
Ajax Amsterdam's pedigree and their impressive run this season is enough for me to believe they'll thrash their opponents mercilessly in this clash. The Visitors have notched successive 2-0 victories against Sparta Rotterdam and Heerenveen and I'm expecting a similar trend here.
Ajax boast the joint second-best offense in the league this season and are likely to trouble the home team's sloppy defence that is ranked the third-worst. This is why I'm backing the visitors to cover the Asian handicap of -1.5.
Our main prediction for the match: Asian Handicap - Ajax Amsterdam -1.5 for 2.35 with Bet365.
2nd prediction: Total - Over 2.5 for 1.66 with 1xbet
3rd prediction: Both Teams To Score - Yes for 1.79 with Betway.
