Fortuna Sittard’s slim chances of reaching the European play-offs could be extinguished against a Feyenoord side with a strong unbeaten record in this fixture. The match will take place at the Fortuna Sittard Stadion on May 3, 2026.
Feyenoord currently sits second in the Eredivisie table with 58 points. They have not lost to Fortuna Sittard since October 2019, boasting an impressive streak of seven matches without defeat against them. In contrast, Fortuna Sittard is struggling in twelfth place and needs to earn nine points from their last three matches to have a chance at qualifying for European play-offs.
Ayase Ueda has been a standout player for Feyenoord this season, scoring an impressive 25 goals in the Eredivisie. His recent performance included a brace in the last match, which ended in a 3-1 victory against FC Groningen. However, Fortuna Sittard’s form has dipped significantly; they have lost three of their last four matches and only managed one win in their last five encounters.
Injuries and suspensions could impact both teams. Ivo Pinto is suspended for Fortuna Sittard, while Feyenoord faces challenges with several key players on their injury list, including Hwang In-beom and Gijs Smal. This situation raises questions about how both teams will approach the match.
Key statistics:
- Fortuna Sittard is currently 12th in the Eredivisie table.
- Feyenoord is currently 2nd in the Eredivisie table.
- A total of 25 goals scored by Ayase Ueda this season.
- Feyenoord has drawn three of their last five matches.
- Fortuna Sittard has lost three of their last four matches.
The match will be broadcast live on ESPN Select in the United States. Observers expect that Fortuna may prove stubborn on home soil, but Feyenoord’s superior quality should ultimately prevail over the course of the match.
