The upcoming Eredivisie clash between Fortuna Sittard and PEC Zwolle promises to be an intriguing mid-table battle as both sides look to end the season on a positive note. Scheduled for May 10, this fixture at the Fortuna Sittard Stadion brings together two teams that have struggled defensively throughout the campaign, often producing open and unpredictable matches. With both clubs separated by just one position in the standings, the encounter could play a decisive role in shaping their final league positions.
Fortuna Sittard enter this match in a difficult moment, having gone four consecutive games without a win. Their recent 1-2 defeat against Feyenoord on May 3 extended a worrying trend of defensive instability. The team’s last five matches have yielded no victories, one draw, and four losses, with an average of 0.8 goals scored and 1.8 conceded per game. Over the course of the Eredivisie season, Fortuna have recorded 10 wins, 6 draws, and 16 defeats, averaging 1.4 goals scored and 1.8 conceded per match.
The defensive issues are clearly reflected in their statistics: at least one goal has been conceded in each of their last 21 matches, including the last 20 in the Eredivisie. However, their attack has shown consistency at home, with at least one goal scored in the last 17 home fixtures. Matches at the Fortuna Sittard Stadion have been lively, with over 1.5 goals scored in each of the last 16 home league games and both teams finding the net in the last 10 Eredivisie home outings.
Despite their defensive fragility, Fortuna’s attacking persistence at home could be their main weapon. The team will aim to use the support of their fans to end a negative run and secure a much-needed victory before the final round of the season.
PEC Zwolle travel to Sittard after a morale-boosting 1-0 win over Heracles Almelo on May 3. That result provided some relief following heavy defeats earlier in the campaign, including a 6-1 loss to PSV Eindhoven and a 2-2 draw with Excelsior. Over their last five matches, PEC have earned two wins, one draw, and two defeats, averaging 1.2 goals scored and 2.8 conceded per game. Their season record stands at 9 wins, 10 draws, and 13 losses, with an average of 1.3 goals scored and 2.1 conceded per match.
Defensive problems have been a recurring theme for PEC Zwolle, particularly away from home. They have failed to win any of their last 15 Eredivisie away games and have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 16 away fixtures. Despite this, their matches tend to be entertaining, with over 1.5 goals scored in the last 20 away games and both teams scoring in 14 of the last 15 away league encounters.
PEC Zwolle’s main challenge remains their defensive organization, but their ability to find the net even in defeats keeps them competitive. The visitors will look to build on their recent win and exploit Fortuna’s defensive weaknesses to secure a rare away success.
Both teams share similar profiles: inconsistent results, defensive vulnerabilities, and a tendency to produce high-scoring matches. Fortuna Sittard have been reliable scorers at home but struggle to keep clean sheets, while PEC Zwolle face similar issues on the road. The combination of these factors suggests a match with plenty of goalmouth action and opportunities for both sides.
Historically, PEC Zwolle have held the upper hand in this fixture, winning four of the last five meetings, including a 1-0 result in December 2025. However, Fortuna’s home advantage and their attacking consistency could balance the scales this time. Given the statistical trends, a scenario where both teams find the net appears highly plausible.
With Fortuna conceding in every recent match and PEC struggling to defend away from home, the most likely outcome points toward an open contest. The data supports the expectation of goals on both ends, making this fixture one of the more unpredictable yet entertaining encounters of the Eredivisie weekend.
