Fortuna Sittard vs AZ Alkmaar prediction
THE FORECAST
AZ stands flawlessly at the top with nine points from three matches, scores an average of three goals per game and concedes only 0.5 goals per match, while Fortuna has a heavily revamped squad following numerous departures and is additionally missing four injured players. The weather conditions (14-21°C, light precipitation and moderate wind) are neutral for both teams and do not significantly disadvantage either playing style. Despite match fatigue for both sides, the quality difference is large enough that AZ remains the favorite even with some rotation.
