FORTUNA SITTARD - HERACLES
Great value in this pick in my oppinion. Heracles, the leaders in Dutch second division at the moment, with only 1 point difference to Sparta Rotterdam, are facing a poor side from Sittard, which lost 5 of the last 6 mutual matches of these 2 teams and has drawn only 1.

Fortuna Sittard, currently rakned 16th in Dutch second division, are in a terrible form at the moment (18th on form table). They are (as all teams in Holland) a typical home side, but their last match against Dordrecht was drawn, and the 2 matches before that were lost at home 2:4 against Veendam, a mediumcore side, and Venlo 2:5.

Heracles on the other has the chance to enhance their leadingship while the 2nd placed, Sparta Rotterdam, is going to play a difficult derby this weekend. Especially Rotterdam is known for his crazy fans, and derbys are always more a event for policemen than for soccer playing.

Both teams have whole squads to choose from, but I do choose the away win here because of the called fast. Heracles with a great chance to enhance their leadingship and on a great run at the moment (6-2-2 last 10 games, 16 goals scored and only 7 conceded) while Sittard will aim for the draw which would be more than good for them in this fixture (Sittard 1-5-5 last games).

ALEMANIA AACHEN - SPVGG UNTERHACHING

Aachen goes in this match beeing 5 points behind Greuther Fuerth, so they need to win to stay in the battle for beeing upgraded in the first division this year.

Aachen showed even in the Uefa Cup how strong they are at home, and in Bundesliga 2nd their home stats shows impressive 6 of 10 games won at home.
Aachen won over Unterhaching in the previous fixture this season away from home 2-0 and I am sure they will trash Unterhaching here today.
For Aachen Klitzperra, Fiel and Plashenrich will not be able to play, but very important is that Captain and Key-Player Erik Mayer is going to make his return after beeing suspended for his team here in this very important match.

Unteraching on the other is doing quite poor at the moment, still placed 12th on table but 3-1-6 after last 10 games are not showing great chances to get even 1 point out of this fixture against a supermotivated Aachen which is strong at home (6th in away table with 6-2-2).
Added to that, Unterhaching has to do without Adzic, Da Costa and Majstrovic which certainly is not improving their chances to grab points here.
The defense of Unterhaching is one of the poorest in german second Bundesliga, conceding 32 goals in 20 games while Aachen scored 39 goals in 20 games which gives one more advantage here.

There is a big quality gap in the meeting of this two teams, and especially the fact that Aachen is in kind of a "must-win" situation to stay in the battle for beeing upgraded to first division will give the important boost here to predict the home win here.
