AI-assisted match preview written from official match data.
Groningen arrive on the back of a mixed run that reads LWWWD, including wins over ADO Den Haag, Utrecht and Valladolid sandwiched around a heavy defeat to PSV Eindhoven and a goalless draw with Volos NFC. Fortuna's form has been more turbulent, shown by a LWDWL sequence that features a win over Cambuur, a draw with PSV Eindhoven and defeats to AZ Alkmaar and Metz.
The two sides have met five times in recent seasons, with the most recent meeting in January 2026 ending 1-2. Across those five fixtures, three have gone in favour of the away side on the day, one was a home win, and one finished level at 0-0.
Groningen's LWWWD run contrasts with Fortuna Sittard's more erratic LWDWL form over their last five matches.
