Looking at recent games, both NEC Nijmegen and Fortuna Sittard are going through a tough spell. NEC has not won any of their last five matches, with two losses and three draws, and they have struggled to score more than one goal in each of those games. Fortuna Sittard have also found wins hard to come by, losing three of their last five outings, with just one win and one draw. When these two teams have met in the past, the matches have often been very open and high-scoring, with five of the last seven meetings seeing four or more goals. Overall, this looks like a very close match between two sides who are both low on confidence and struggling for form.

Given how evenly matched both teams appear to be in their recent struggles, this game is very likely to end in a draw.
