Go Ahead Eagles v Fortuna Sittard: mid-table stakes and selection headaches | OneFootball

Go Ahead Eagles host Fortuna Sittard in the Eredivisie on Sunday, 11 January 2026 at De Adelaarshorst, with 13th facing 11th and valuable mid-table points in play.

These sides drew 2-2 in August. Since then, Go Ahead Eagles have mixed league form, while Fortuna Sittard have oscillated but arrive off a 4-3 win against AZ.

The Supereagles have one win in their last five across competitions, including draws with AZ and Groningen. Fortuna Sittard's recent league run reads two draws, two defeats, then that seven-goal home win over AZ, a timely lift after back to back losses.

Team news could shape the midfield picture. Go Ahead Eagles list Gerrit Nauber, Pim Saathof and Robbin Weijenberg as injured. Fortuna Sittard are without Alen Halilovic, Daley Sinkgraven and Jasper Dahlhaus through injury, while Edouard Michut (two matches) and Philip Brittijn (one) are suspended. Ramazan Bayram and Luka Tunjić are also sidelined.

On season trends, the Supereagles average 52% possession with 81.53% passing accuracy and may look to control territory and work deliveries from wide, where their open play cross accuracy is 19.54%. Fortuna Sittard, at 47% possession and 24.00% cross accuracy, could lean on direct service and transition moments. Mathis Suray has six league goals for the hosts, while Kaj Sierhuis leads the visitors with five.

A home win would move the Supereagles to 22 points and could push them further from the relegation battle. Fortuna Sittard would reach 24 with victory and may edge closer to the top half.
