Preview: Fortuna Sittard vs. Cambuur - prediction, team news, lineups

Sports Mole previews Saturday's Eredivisie clash between Fortuna Sittard and Cambuur, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

Fortuna Sittard play host to Cambuur at the Fortuna Sittard Stadion in matchday three of the 2022-23 Eredivisie season on Saturday evening.

With the sides still in search of their first three points of the season, this weekend's meeting promises to be a truly absorbing affair.


Match preview

Fortuna Sittard were beaten for the second game running as they fell to a disappointing 3-0 defeat against FC Twente at De Grolsch Veste on Sunday.

Sjors Ultee's men found themselves two down at half time thanks to goals from Ricky van Wolfswinkel and Joshua Brenet before Virgil Misidjan put the game to bed in the second period.

Alongside Vitesse and Go Ahead Eagles, the Fortunezen are one of three teams yet to pick up a point so far and currently sit 16th in the league table.

Coming up next for them is the visit of an opposing outfit who have lost on each of their last five trips to this weekend's venue since 2013.

Having failed to win any of their most recent six home involvements, Saturday's hosts will need to turn things around in front of their fans to stand any chance of enjoying a productive campaign.

Cambuur picked up their first point this term courtesy of a goalless stalemate against FC Utrecht at the Stadion Galgenwaard on Saturday evening.

Henk de Jong's men created numerous opportunities to break the deadlock but they were unable to find the cutting edge in attack needed to capitalise on their dominance.

Consequently, the Yellow-Blues have moved up into 12th place in the Eredivisie standings ahead of this weekend's journey to Sittard-Geleen.

With just one victory in 12 away outings since the turn of the year, Saturday's visitors will be keen to end their barren run of form on the road.

Team News

Once again, Cambuur are set to be without the services of Maxim Gullit, who has not featured since picking up a knee injury in February.

Twenty-five-year-old Silvester van der Water is also ruled out for the visitors as the Dutchman continues to nurse a long-term leg injury.

Tom Boere grabbed a double in the most recent meeting between this weekend's opponents and he will be looking to deliver the goods once again.

Burak Yilmaz will be pushing for a start here having had to come off the bench in each of his opening two matches for Fortuna Sittard.

This could see Arianit Ferati drop out of the lineup as the German forward has found the back of the net just once since the turn of the year.

Fortuna Sittard possible starting lineup:
Van Osch; Cox, Siovas, Guth, Tirpan; Duarte, Erdogan, Seuntjens, Noslin; Gladon, Yilmaz

Cambuur possible starting lineup:
Virginia; Bangura, Bergsma, Tol, Schmidt; Maulun, Hoedemakers, Jacobs; Smit, Balk, Uldrikis


SM words green background

We say: Fortuna Sittard 1-0 Cambuur

Fortuna's poor form on home turf coupled with Cambuur's recent struggles on the road should make for a tight affair this weekend. That said, we can see the hosts just about edging out their visitors to emerge triumphant in the end.
