We kick off Matchday 3 in the Eredivisie with Fortuna Sittard playing host to AZ Alkmaar on Saturday afternoon. These sides played out a seven-goal thriller in this exact fixture last season, and we are expecting more goals in this one, as discussed in our match prediction below.
After another season finishing in the bottom half of the table last term, Fortuna Sittard have made a bright start to this campaign, taking four points from their first two matches.
Fortunezen secured a 3-1 victory over Cambuur last time out, taking their goal tally to five for the season - the joint-second-most in the division heading into MD3 this weekend.
The hosts have only won three of their last 12 league home games, but they have scored in each match during this period.
Meanwhile, AZ Alkmaar have made a very impressive start to the season, winning both their games so far, which sees them enter this weekend top of the Eredivisie table.
De Kaasboeren beat Utrecht 4-1 last weekend and are one of only two teams to win their first two games of the campaign. They have scored the joint-most goals this term (6) and conceded the fewest (1).
Mateo Chavez and Kees Smit have both notched up two assists apiece to date. Notably, the visitors have lost their last two league matches at this venue.
