Fortuna Sittard and GA Eagles League Standings

As we approach the new season, lets have a look at where both of these sides finished last term.

Fortuna Sittard just cannot seem to grasp that spot in European football. Last term, they finished 11th in the league on 41 points, just two points away from the UEFA Conference League Playoff places. They lost more games than they won across the 34-game campaign, losing 15 and winning just 12. Ultimately, it was their 0-0 draw against Utrecht on the final day which cost Sittard a chance at the Conference League.

Go Ahead Eagles can flaunt their achievements from last season onto Fortuna, as Friday’s visitors managed to finish seventh in the Eredivisie and secure a spot in the 2025/26 Europa League. They did this by earning 51 points in the Dutch top flight last term, after winning 14 matches and scoring 57 goals. However, Eagles did lose their last match of the season, 5-3 away to RKC Waalwijk.
