Fortuna Sittard Set to Breach NEC Defence

Fortuna Sittard average 2.3 goals per game away from home this season and have won three of their last five matches. NEC Nijmegen concede two goals a game at the Goffertstadion and have kept no clean sheets in eight league outings. Both teams have scored in seven of NEC’s eight games and in six of Fortuna’s eight. Head-to-head meetings show Fortuna found the net in seven of the last ten clashes. NEC have managed just one win in their last five and sit four places below their visitors in the table. Fortuna’s forward line will target spaces behind a home side that has leaked goals consistently at home.
