ADO Den Haag vs Fortuna Sittard: Visitors missing Romeny
Published
ADO Den Haag host Fortuna Sittard in the Eredivisie on Sunday afternoon, with the home side still searching for their first league win of the season. Fortuna arrive in the top half after a solid start, but they will be without suspended forward Ole Romeny.
Team News and Injury Latest
Fortuna Sittard are missing several key players. Ole Romeny is suspended for this fixture, while Kristoffer Peterson, Ivan Marquez and Sven Simons are all sidelined through injury. The visitors will have to reshuffle their attack, with Édouard Michut likely to take on extra creative responsibility.
ADO Den Haag have not reported any fresh injury concerns. After a battling 2-2 draw at Feyenoord last weekend, head coach could name a similar side, with the attacking midfield duo of N. Thomas and others expected to carry the hosts' threat.
ADO Den Haag Form Guide
Den Haag sit bottom of the early table with a single point from their opening four matches. A 4-1 home defeat to FC Groningen exposed defensive frailties, but the team responded impressively by taking a point at De Kuip. That 2-2 draw at Feyenoord showed character and gave the squad a platform, yet they remain winless and desperate to convert promising moments into three points.
Fortuna Sittard Form Guide
Fortuna have collected seven points from their first four outings, placing them sixth in the Eredivisie. A 2-2 draw at PSV Eindhoven and a 3-1 victory over Cambuur underlined their early-season quality, before a 2-0 home defeat to leaders AZ Alkmaar checked their momentum. Head coach will demand a response, and the visitors won both league meetings against Groningen last season, proving they can grind out results on the road.
Key Battle: Michut’s Influence vs ADO’s Midfield
Édouard Michut was named Player of the Match in Fortuna's recent home win and has been a driving force in midfield. ADO Den Haag will need to close him down quickly and prevent him from dictating the tempo, especially with Romeny absent up front. If the hosts can stifle Michut, they may disrupt Fortuna’s supply line and create turnover opportunities.
ADO Den Haag know a first win would lift them out of the relegation zone and change the mood around the club. Fortuna, meanwhile, can consolidate their place in the top half with a positive result ahead of their next league fixture.
