H2H: Ajax v Sittard – Comparison.

Teen phenomenon Lassina Traore has six goals across his last two matches for Ajax, scoring the clubs last goal in both matches. Meanwhile, Sebastian Polter is the only Fortuna player to have scored in two matches this season, both times assisted by Lisandro Semedo. Fortuna have conceded 4+ goals in 11 of their last 25 away league matches.

Ajax Insights.

Last round, Ajax climbed to the top of the table by bettering their own Eredivisie record for biggest win from 1972, thrashing VVV Venlo 13-0 away from home, scoring an incredible nine goals in the second half after Venlo were reduced to ten men. Though they aren’t going to beat a ‘-12 handicap’ this time, Ajax are huge favourites again, winning the last five home H2Hs with an average margin of 4.2 goals. They have also won via HT/FT doubles in all three home league matches this term, covering a -2.5 handicap in two. The champions have also scored an average of 2.0 goals across those three first halves at home without a single goal in reply. Across all venues and competitions, the pattern persists, with nine first-half goals scored and just a single conceded across their last five matches.

Sittard Insights.

Last placed ahead of this trip, Fortuna Sittard fans might be afraid of a demolition job here. However, Fortuna have not lost by a margin bigger than two goals so far this season, and have managed to score in five of their last six matches. Away from home, Fortuna scare no-one, and are currently on a 25-match winless run on the road in Eredivisie (D5, L20). Curiously, they’ve conceded precisely two goals in all three such matches this season (D1, L2) and in five of their last six away league matches.
