Heerenveen – Fortuna Sittard

Heerenveen host Fortuna Sittard in what promises to be a pivotal clash in the mid‑table scramble. The hosts sit 11th with six points from eight games, having scored seven and conceded nine, while the visitors occupy seventh place on ten points, boasting twelve goals but also a leaky defence that has let in 14. With Heerenveen yet to register a win in their last two outings and Fortuna looking to build on a solid three‑victory run, the encounter could very well decide which side climbs back into the European spots and which remains mired in the relegation‑watch zone.
