Prediction
In our opinion, FC Emmen should have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals.
Conversely, VVV-Venlo may well find it hard to find the back of the net but do we see them hitting back at some stage here, too.
Weโre tipping a comfortable 3-1 win for FC Emmen at the end of the 90 minutes.
