Emmen Preview – Can Emmen secure top flight status?
Emmen found themselves in the third from bottom position in the Eredivisie at the end of the regular season and now have to endure a divisional play-off against Eerste Divisie outfit, NAC Breda, who finished in 5th place in the Dutch second tier.
Although Emmen finished third from bottom, the hosts ended their season in promising form as they suffered just two defeats out of their final 12 matches of the campaign, a sequence that included seven wins, so they bring some decent form into this clash.
Emmen had previously endured a tough start at home as the hosts lost eight of their opening 11 matches on home soil but they’ve since won four of their subsequent six games with wins against PEC Zwolle, Waalwijk, Heracles and Heerenveen.
NAC Breda Preview – Can Breda overcome top flight hosts?
NAC Breda will be hoping that they can repeat their previous heroics against Emmen after beating their top flight opponents 3-2 in a KNB Dutch cup tie back in October 2019, but although the visitors secured a top five finish in the Eerste Divisie at the end of the regular season, their recent results have been unconvincing.
Breda have managed to collect just four wins out of their last 10 matches overall, three of which have been recorded on home turf at their Rat Verlegh Stadion, while results on the road have declined in recent weeks.
The visitors have managed to win just one of their last five games on their travels while defeats at Volendam and Cambuur suggest this could be another tough outing for NAC Breda.
