Form Guide
FC Emmen
DWDLLL 📉
FC Emmen won’t want a repeat of their last result here after the 4-0 Eredivisie loss in their previous game against Heracles Almelo.
Sinan Bakış (26', 44', 64') and Rai Vloet (87') scored for Heracles Almelo.
It has been seldom in recent games that FC Emmen haven’t conceded. The reality is that Rood-Witten have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 13 goals during that time. We will see if that trend can be continued on into this next match.
Going into this game, the form guide shows that FC Emmen:
- haven't won against Vitesse in their previous 2 league matches.
- haven’t won at home in the past 8 league matches. It's been disappointing.
Vitesse
DWWLWW
Vitesse will go into this encounter following a 1-0 Eredivisie win with the downing of FC Utrecht in their previous game.
The only scorer from Vitesse was Danilho Doekhi (26').
A sequence of dependable showings from the Vitesse defensive players has seen the number of goals they’ve conceded amounting to 4 from their previous 6 outings in total. During the same period of time, the number of goals that they have scored themselves amounts to 8.

💭
Prediction
Looking at these two teams, we feel that FC Emmen must be fancied to breach the defence of this Vitesse outfit, although just one goal possibly won’t quite prevent defeat.
We are therefore anticipating a close game with a 1-2 win for Vitesse at the end of the 90 minutes. It will be interesting to see how this one goes.
