Only two points separate Fortuna Sittard and Heracles in the bottom-half of Eredivisie as they prepare for their clash on Friday. This matchday 12 fixture at the Offermans Joosten Stadion sees the hosts 14th with ten points and the visitors 10th with 12 points. Fortuna are only two points above the bottom-three ahead of this round after losing 2-0 to Zwolle last time out. That result made it their fifth defeat across the last six league games, drawing the other. The biggest worry for the hosts is the dwindling return in terms of goals, as Fortuna have failed to score in five of those six matches, scoring just once in the other. In fact, no club has scored fewer goals than their eight in the league this season. Even at home, they have failed to score in three of their last four home league games.

Heracles are only two points above their hosts, but three points behind top-six. With the margins so little, they wouldn’t want to lose out on winning here. Especially since they have to bounce back from a 6-0 defeat at the hands of PSV Eindhoven last time out. That made it three defeats across the last four Eredivisie matches, drawing the other. Much like their hosts, goals seem to have dried up for Heracles as well, as they failed to score in three of their last four league games. Any hopes of bouncing back here will have to see them improve their poor traveling record. Heracles are yet to win on the road in the league this season, drawing two and losing three of their trips.
