United are one of several Premier League clubs weighing up whether to meet Bologna’s €25m (£21.7m) valuation for Jhon Lucumi, according to Corriere di Bologna.

Positionally there is a clear hierarchy: Fortuna Sittard sit 7th, Cambuur lie 15th, but the Eredivisie has a habit of defying such logic.

Tactically, the contest promises a fascinating contrast. Fortuna Sittard will look to impose their style on home soil, while Cambuur are likely to have ideas of their own about how to gain the upper hand. Amad won possession in the PSG half before laying the ball off for Bryan Mbeumo to score.

With G. Zechiël leading the league's scoring charts at 5 goals, the contest is unlikely to be short of attacking intent. Discipline at the back and sharpness in front of goal will likely tilt the balance one way or the other.

Predictions are tricky when the sides are this evenly matched, and small margins — a moment of quality, a slice of luck — could decide it either way. On balance, Fortuna Sittard look well-placed to claim all three points, and a 3-2 home win would not come as a surprise.
