Fortuna Sittard v NAC Breda: mid-table cushion meets survival fight | OneFootball

Fortuna Sittard host NAC Breda in the Eredivisie on Sunday, 12 April 2026 at Fortuna Sittard Stadion, with the hosts aiming to firm up mid-table safety and the visitors chasing points to climb out of the relegation places.

Recent meetings have produced winners rather than stalemates, with NAC Breda taking two of the last three league encounters since 2024, though Fortuna Sittard won 1-0 at home in May 2025.

Form is patchy for both. Fortuna Sittard have lost three of their last four but did win away at Volendam in mid-March. NAC Breda are winless in five, including a heavy defeat at Go Ahead Eagles, but earned a 0-0 draw against Sparta Rotterdam last time out.

Squad availability could bite. Fortuna Sittard list multiple injuries, including goalkeepers Nick Marsman and Mattijs Branderhorst, defender Ivo Pinto, and midfielders Mohammed Ihattaren and Daley Sinkgraven. NAC Breda report forward Moussa Soumano sidelined.

The match-up may hinge on efficiency in both boxes. Fortuna Sittard average 1.5 goals per game with 49.26% shooting accuracy and have scored 12 headed goals, so wide service towards Kaj Sierhuis, who has 10 league goals, could be a route, their open-play crossing accuracy stands at 23.41%. NAC Breda have scored 29 and conceded 50, with 39.8% shooting accuracy and five clean sheets, Lewis Holtby has supplied five assists.

A home win would take Fortuna Sittard to 38 points and strengthen their hold on 12th. Victory would move NAC Breda to 27 points and could bring them closer to 16th-placed Excelsior's relegation play-off spot, defeat would keep them in the automatic drop places.
