Eindhoven FC vs FC Emmen Match Preview

Eindhoven FC is ranked at 3rd place with 67 points and comes in a decent run after three wins and two losses over the last five matches. Now they can not aim for the direct promotion zone but still, they have to try and finish 3rd in order to have an easier game in the playoffs. Securing the third spot would almost mean facing Graafschap in the next round.

With 66 goals they have one of the best offensive sides in Eerste Divisie and in the last five matches, they have scored a total of seven goals averaging more than a goal per game while managing to find the back of the net at least once in each encounter. At home, they have done even better with 10 goals over the last five matches which means two goals per game. Sleegers continues his great season with 19 goals - 11 assists followed by van der Sande 13 goals - 6 assists.

FC Emmen, on the other hand, is ranked at 1st place with 80 points and comes almost in perfect shape after four wins and a single draw over the last five matches. Their unbeaten streak extends to nine matches where they got an amazing amount of eight wins and a draw. This allowed them to climb in ranks and earn a direct promotion ticket for next season's Eredivisie.

With 61 goals scored so far they have also shown a very good offensive side and in the last five matches, they have scored a total of nine goals averaging almost two goals per game while managing to find the back of the net at least once in each encounter. For them, Mendes has been leading the attack with 14 goals - 5 assists followed by Assehnoun 7 goals - 8 assists.

In conclusion, I think both teams can score at least a goal here. Eindhoven FC is still in need of points in order to secure the third spot and playing in front of their fans I fancy them scoring a goal as a minimum. FC Emmen has been very solid recently and having no pressure for the result could lead them to a more open and attacking style of game in this one.
