Fortuna Sittard v Cambuur: hosts eye lift as visitors chase first points | OneFootball

Fortuna Sittard host Cambuur in the Eredivisie on Saturday, 15 August 2026 at Fortuna Sittard Stadion, with the home side looking to build on an opening day draw and the visitors seeking their first points after a heavy defeat.

Fortuna Sittard sit 10th after one game, while Cambuur are bottom in the relegation places. The recent head to head tilts slightly to the hosts, who have five wins to Cambuur's three across the last nine meetings.

Form points to momentum for the home side. Fortuna Sittard opened with a 2-2 draw at PSV and come in D-W-W-L-L across their last five in the guide. Cambuur arrive on a five-match losing run, including a 4-0 home loss to Excelsior on matchday one.

Selection-wise, Danny Buijs is without Kristoffer Peterson, Ivan Marquez, Lequincio Zeefuik, Sven Simons and Shiloh 't Zand through injury. Cambuur are missing forwards Wiebe Kooistra and midfielder Daan Visser.

On the pitch, Fortuna Sittard showed they can threaten without the ball, scoring twice with 25% possession and eight shots, converting at 75% shot accuracy. Edouard Michut and Ole Romeny have one league goal each and could carry the threat again. Cambuur had 47% possession and eight attempts in their opener but were blunt in front of goal and conceded four. A sharper final ball and sturdier back line may be decisive.

A home win would move Fortuna Sittard to four points and could nudge them up the early table. Victory for Cambuur would put their first points on the board and could lift them off the foot, easing early pressure in the relegation fight. Then Fortuna Sittard host AZ, while Cambuur welcome Feyenoord.
