Fortuna Sittard will play a friendly match against KRC Genk this Saturday. The game at the Cegeka Arena kicks off at 1pm local time and offers Danny Buijs's side a final test before returning to Eredivisie action.
Genk, who are tenth in the Belgian league, are looking forward to the fixture. "We look forward to welcoming you back to our stadium for a great afternoon of football against our friends from Sittard," the Belgian club said. The Limburgers travel with confidence after a 1-0 away win at Willem II, courtesy of a goal from Philip Brittijn. Fortuna currently sit sixth in the Eredivisie with thirteen points from seven games. Top scorer Mohamed Ihattaren has three goals to his name.
The last meeting between the clubs, in July, was won 2-1 by Fortuna Sittard. Tickets for supporters are available from five euros. The lineup from the last league match, featuring the likes of Ivo Pinto and Justin Hubner in defence, gives an indication of the likely selection. The current standings show the battle for the top spots Fortuna are involved in.
