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

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

Aiming to record a fourth consecutive league triumph, Fortuna Sittard welcome RKC Waalwijk to the Fortuna Sittard Stadion on Saturday evening.

Meanwhile, the away side go in search of consecutive victories for the first time this term having returned to winning ways last time out.


Match preview

Fortuna Sittard picked up a first away win of the season by narrowly defeating a struggling Vitesse 2-1 at the GelreDome in Arnhem on Sunday.

Sjors Ultee's men fell behind to Bartosz Bialek's opener just past the half-hour mark before goals from Arianit Ferati and Remy Vita completed a remarkable turnaround.

With 10 points picked up from the last 12 available, the Fortunezen have moved up to 11th place in the Eredivisie table, two points off a place in the top half.

Next up is the challenge of an opposing side who have come out on top in just one of the most recent meetings between the teams, losing four of them.

Off the back of two straight wins in front of their fans without conceding, Saturday's hosts will head into this weekend's clash with their spirits high.

Like Fortuna, Waalwijk were also victorious on the road for the first time this season last time out thanks to a 3-2 win over Groningen on Sunday.

Joseph Oosting's men trailed to Ricardo Pepi's opener but managed to turn the game on its head through strikes from Dario Van den Buijs and Mika Biereth before Pepi restored parity 30 minutes into the second half, after which Biereth grabbed a late winner.

As a result, RKC have now moved up to seventh in the league standings, which is fairly impressive for a team who failed to win any of the opening four games.

Fresh from recording a first away victory since May, Saturday's visitors now seek to make it two wins in a row on enemy territory for the first time in over a year.

Team News

Ivo Pinto was forced off with an early injury in Fortuna's win against Vitesse, and the defender is a major doubt for this weekend's contest.

Deroy Duarte missed the aforementioned game with a muscle problem and remains ruled out, while Dimitrios Siovas is also unavailable for the hosts.

Thirty-one-year-old Florian Jozefzoon has not featured for Waalwijk since the international break ended and he continues to nurse a knee problem.

Lars Nieuwpoort was fit enough to be named on the substitutes' bench last time out, but the Dutchman is not expected to play any part in this one.

Fortuna Sittard possible starting lineup:
Pandur; Cox, Guth, Navarro, Vita; Ferati, Erdogan; Cordoba, Ozyakup, Embalo; Yilmaz

RKC Waalwijk possible starting lineup:
Vaessen; Lutonda, Van den Buijs, Adewoye, Gaari, Lelieveld; Clement, Anita, Bel Hassani; Lobete, Kuijpers
