Head-to-head statistics Sparta - Fortuna Sittard
Sparta have suffered five defeats in their last ten matches
Sparta's most recent Eredivisie match at home ended in a 1-2 defeat to Ajax on 25 October 2026. All the goals came before half-time; Sparta had the better of the shots on target, with five to Ajax's four.
Sparta are having a difficult season, sitting 14th in the Eredivisie table with nine points. Over their last ten matches, the Rotterdam club have won just twice, drawn three times and lost five. Recent form offers little comfort either: in their previous five matches, the hosts have won only once and lost three times. Sparta do show reasonable attacking output, averaging 1.7 goals per game, but their defence is considerably weaker, conceding 2.4 goals per match on average, which goes a long way to explaining their poor results. Defensive errors mean that even productive performances in attack rarely produce the desired outcome.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
Despite the difference in league standings, the bookmakers make Sparta the favourites. Fortuna Sittard are in decent form, though, and capable of causing the hosts plenty of problems. Both teams score regularly, but neither is particularly reliable defensively. Sparta's statistics are especially telling: their last nine home matches have all featured at least three goals. Given that trend and the attacking options on both sides, we're expecting a high-scoring contest. Our main prediction is Total Goals - Over 2.5.
