FC Twente vs Fortuna Sittard Current League Standings

The Tukkers have navigated through a tough start in a mediocre fashion. A poor end to preseason affected the start of their league campaign, as the Reds suffered three very out-of-character defeats. A win, and now a draw and victory in their last two matches puts them in 11th place, with a huge 5-1 win in their last outing to give Twente a positive goal difference. They currently have seven points, and a victory on Friday night will have them overtake their visitors on goal difference.

As for Fortuna, they will be very pleased with their start to the season, with three wins and a draw in their opening six games. This positive beginning sees them on 10 points, as they occupy a Conference League playoff spot – a spot which their hosts couldn’t take advantage of last campaign. Another eye-raising win could take them as high up as the Champions League places.
