Fortuna Sittard vs Excelsior Prediction

Fortuna Sittard host Excelsior on 25 October 2026 at 14:15 in the Eredivisie. Sittard drew 2-2 with Nijmegen at the weekend and have not lost in three matches. Anthony Descotte scored twice in that draw and carries momentum into this fixture. The hosts report no fresh injury concerns and will field a full squad.

Excelsior arrive in poor form. They lost 5-1 to Groningen before conceding four goals at Heerenveen. The Rotterdam side will make changes to their starting XI, with Dominguez, Silva Timas, and Sulzbacher competing for places. Despite the recent defeats, Excelsior average 2.33 goals per away game this season.

Sittard's defensive record at home is a concern. They concede 2.25 goals per game on their own ground. Excelsior's fragility at the back, combined with Sittard's attacking threat through Descotte, suggests goals at both ends. The pick is Sittard 2-1 Excelsior.

Form and H2H

Sittard have won five of their last ten home matches, drawn three, and lost two. They score 1.80 goals per game at the Fortuna Sittad and concede 1.80. Over ten away matches, Excelsior have won four, drawn two, and lost four. They average 2.09 goals scored and 1.91 conceded on the road.

Best Bet

Sittard to win. The hosts are unbeaten in three, have a full squad available, and face an Excelsior side reeling from consecutive heavy defeats. Excelsior will make multiple changes and lack cohesion. Back Sittard's home advantage.

Odds to Watch

Both Teams to Score carries appeal given Sittard's defensive vulnerabilities and Excelsior's away-game scoring rate. Over 2.5 goals is worth considering with Sittard averaging 1.80 goals at home and Excelsior capable of finding the net despite their recent form.
