Fortuna Sittard's away matches have also been high-scoring affairs, featuring identical 3-2 victories at ADO Den Haag and Groningen.

These two calls are about different parts of the match (double chance and total goals), so neither one determines the other. The figure shown is the lower of the two — a combo can never be more likely than its weaker leg.
