Emmen Preview – Can Emmen continue winning streak?
Recent back-to-back wins in the Dutch top flight have given Friday night’s hosts, Emmen, a glimmer of hope in their bid to avoid relegation from the Eredivisie following wins against PEC Zwolle and Utrecht, and they’ll be keen to add a third win on the trot here.
Up until recently though, it had been a wretched campaign for Emmen who still sit rock bottom of the Eredivisie and they still trail fourth from bottom outfit, Venlo, by a margin of 10 points, so realistically, Emmen’s best chances are to try and grab the third from bottom spot and take their chances in the relegation play-off.
However, the hosts possess a poor home record of 1-3-8 16/33 which includes the worst defensive record at home in the division and no clean sheets to date, while also conceding 2 goals or more in nine of their 12 home matches to date.
Sparta Rotterdam Preview – Can Sparta end dismal run?
Although Sparta Rotterdam are without a win in the Eredivisie from their last seven matches overall, a run that includes five defeats, the visitors will fancy their chances of ending this slump on Friday night away at poor Emmen.
Recent losses to PSV, Utrecht, Fortuna Sittard, Ajax and Willem II have resulted in Sparta dropping down to 13th place on the Eredivisie standings but results away from home suggest they could grab the points here.
Wins at Willem II, Twente and Fortuna Sittard suggest that Sparta Rotterdam could end their slump and as they’ve won the last two meetings against Emmen, a third victory on the trot could be on the cards here on Friday night.
