NOBARTTV NEWS Quick Boys vs. Fortuna Sittard – On December 18, 2024, Quick Boys will host Fortuna Sittard in the KNVB Beker round of 32 match. The match, which took place at 32 WIB, brought together two teams with significant caste differences, where the Quick Boys competed in the Tweede Divisie (Dutch Second Division), while Fortuna Sittard is a member of the Eredivisie, the highest caste of Dutch football. However, the Quick Boys have the opportunity to surprise in this match.
The Quick Boys try to topple the Eredivisie giants
The Quick Boys, who currently play in the Tweede Division, have put in some impressive performances this season. The Katwijk-based team is unbeaten in their last 13 matches in all competitions. In fact, they just won 1-0 over Rijnsburgse Boys on December 7, 2024 and drew Scheveningen 1-1 in their last match, played on December 14, 2024.
Ravelino Junte, the main striker of Quick Boys, is an important figure in this team with a great contribution in the attacking line. With his goal-scoring ability and creativity, Junte will be the main threat for Fortuna Sittard’s defence.
Nonetheless, the team coached by Kees Zethof knows that they will face a big challenge against Fortuna Sittard, who have experience in top-level competitions.
Fortuna Sittard, an Eredivisie team not to be underestimated
On the other hand, Fortuna Sittard will go into this match with great confidence after achieving positive results in the Eredivisie. Sittard’s team showed quite solid performances even though they often found themselves facing big teams. In the last match, Fortuna Sittard managed to achieve a dramatic 3-2 victory over RKC Waalwijk on December 15, 2024.
However, the team coached by Sjors Ultee has not always appeared consistent. They also recorded a 2-2 draw against Heracles Almelo on 8 December 2024 and a 1-1 draw against Feyenoord on 1 December 2024. However, Fortuna Sittard have an advantage in terms of player quality, with Kristoffer Peterson, their winger who often makes the difference with sharp crossing and finishing skills.
Head-to-head statistics
This match will be the first for both teams in the KNVB Beker competition, so there is no direct match data that can be used as a reference. However, Fortuna Sittard is far superior in terms of experience in major competitions, especially in the Eredivisie. This team also has a good away record, although they often get involved in draws against weaker teams.
The Quick Boys, although not as strong as Fortuna, will appear in good spirits, especially since they will be playing in front of their own fans. They have the advantage of a better psychological condition after a series of positive results in the lower divisions.
Winning chances and score predictions
According to the betting odds, Fortuna Sittard is favored with a 62% chance of winning, while Quick Boys only has a 38% chance of winning. Fortuna Sittard are also favorites in the Asian handicap with -1, which means they should win by at least one goal.
The Over/Under 2.5 goals odds also show that this match will most likely score more than 2.5 goals, considering that both teams have match stats that tend to produce a lot of goals.
Quick Boys vs Fortuna Sittard score prediction
While the Quick Boys will be busy keeping up with Fortuna Sittard, we expect the Eredivisie side to overcome the stiff resistance shown by the second division side. Fortuna Sittard will most likely emerge victorious with a score of 2-1, but the Quick Boys are still expected to provide significant resistance.
This match will be a tough test for Fortuna Sittard who want to progress further in the national competitions, while for Quick Boys this is an opportunity to show that they should not be underestimated even if they belong to the lower caste.
With a solid formation and a high fighting spirit, the Quick Boys can surprise, even if the chances of victory are greater on the side of the more experienced Fortuna Sittard.
