Fortuna Sittard will host PSV Eindhoven at the Fortuna Sittard Stadion on Sunday in the penultimate round of the 2023-24 Eredivisie campaign. The home side have hit a rough patch of late and can no longer secure a qualification playoff spot.
They played out a goalless draw against Go Ahead Eagles in their last match and perhaps deserved more from the game but were guilty of wasteful finishing and now find themselves 11th in the league table with 36 points from 32 matches.
PSV Eindhoven, meanwhile, have enjoyed a brilliant season and have secured their 25th Eredivisie title, ending a five-season drought. They beat Sparta Rotterdam 4-2 in the title decider last weekend, heading into the break level at 2-2 before Olivier Boscagli and Jordan Teze got on the scoresheet in the second half to clinch maximum points for the champions.

Fortuna Sittard vs PSV Eindhoven Prediction
Fortuna are without a win in their last six Eredivisie matches after winning three of their previous four games in the competition. They are winless in their last three home matches and could struggle here.
PSV, on the other hand, are on a brilliant five-game winning streak and have lost just one league game all season. The sheer gulf in class and quality between the two teams coupled with their contrasting forms should see the visitors win this one fairly easily.
Prediction: Fortuna Sittard 1-3 PSV Eindhoven
