PSV Eindhoven vs Fortuna Sittard
📖 The Preview
PSV are heavy favourites here and the head-to-head record backs that up completely — six wins from eight against Fortuna with zero losses. The model has this landing 4-1, and honestly that feels about right. PSV's home form gives them a real platform, and while Fortuna come in with back-to-back wins so they're not pushovers, the gap in quality should tell over ninety minutes. Both teams finding the net fits too, which explains that Fortuna goal, but PSV pulling well clear is the obvious trajectory here.
