FC Emmen form and stats

0-1-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Eerste Divisie numbers at home for FC Emmen so far this season.

The home team returns to De Oude Meerdijk after drawing with Jong Ajax (placed 19th) on their last time out; the game ended 3-3. There was plenty of action in the dying minutes of the game against Jong Ajax as Scholte's goal in the 82nd minute completed a cancellation of 0-2 and secured a draw after 90 minutes. Scholte (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 8.65/10. Scholte scored two goals, hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 19 successful passes (of 21 total).

Preceding that match was a defeat to FC Dordrecht (2-4).

The home team are expected to win this game about three out of four times, according to the bookmaker odds. When checking the database for FC Emmen home games with this odds we find 5 games with a similar winning chance. Resulting in 4 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat.

The manager Grim will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to NAC Breda in only four days.

Jong Utrecht form and stats

Still no away game victory in the Eerste Divisie for Jong Utrecht with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts.

Jong Utrecht are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 3-3 draw at FC Dordrecht (placed 15th). Drawing 3-3 against FC Dordrecht after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 3-0. Their manager van Dinteren needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. Blake got a match rating of 8.61 in that game, top player of the team. Blake scored two goals and hit one key pass.

Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Roda JC Kerkrade.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Utrecht played away with similar odds. This revealed 7 games. The visitors overcame the odds to win 0 times, 2 were draws and the home team won as expected 5 times.

A new game in only four days for Jong Utrecht, the Eerste Divisie home match versus SC Cambuur. Busy days.

Utrecht find the net regularly in their away games. 4 goals from 3 away fixtures in the league. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Jong Utrecht's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 8 goals in 3 travels.

Head 2 Head

FC Emmen have put together a sequence of 4 consecutive games without defeat (3-1-0) when facing Jong Utrecht.
