Jupiler League - Fortuna Sittard v Emmen

Emmen didn't reached the playoffs during the last season only for some points and decided to improve their squad. They spent a lot, and probably they made the best transfers to the division. Rogier Krohne came from Groningen, very important addition to their defensive line is Joos Valgaeren from Brugge, another strong defender Niek Ripson from TOP Oss, experienced Sieme Zijm (Excelsior) to cover the left side, a promised midfielder, Jesse Schotman came from Go Ahead Eagles, and the latest addition is international Slovenian (U21) striker Tim Matavz. Most of the players who departed gone to amateur teams, except Bas Dost (Heracles), Frank Broers (Go Ahead) and Edgar Bernhardt who signed for VfL Osnabruck. All in all, quality players came, non important units left, so we can say that they are strengthen enough. Two absentees for Emmen today, Jannes Wolters and Guus de Vries are out, while Callum Little and Robbie Haemhouts are doubtful.

Fortuna will have very difficult season (again) like the previous years. Their roster is again weakened, as 8 players left and 3 players came (2 keepers, 1 midfielder). The fact that this season one team will relegate from the division makes them one of the favorites for relegation. The players who came are keeper David Meul who played for Belgian side VW Hamme, 17 years old Danny Hoesen who promoted from their youth team, another keeper Tom Grootaers who came from amateur side Patro Eisden, and midfielder Samir Kozarac who came from Swiss side Wohlen. About The players who left the team, 4 of them were first eleven players, striker Dirk-Jan Derksen signed for Helmond, keeper Arjan Christianen signed for RBC Roosendaal, and defensive midfielder Rachid El Hammouchi signed for German side Kickers Emden. Three huge blows for their first eleven.

Nothing more to add, Emmen is the best side to this matchup, already watched them to a televised friendly against Olympiakos (0-0), they have nothing to fear against this poor Fortuna and odds are quite good.
