Fortuna Sittard’s recent draw against NAC Breda showed some resilience, but their defensive frailties have been exposed in previous matches. If Heerenveen can capitalise on these weaknesses, they could secure a comfortable win. However, Fortuna’s ability to spring surprises shouldn’t be underestimated.Fortuna Sittard’s recent draw against NAC Breda showed some resilience, but their defensive frailties have been exposed in previous matches.
