It's the second possibility for points this league season as FC Emmen and VVV-Venlo bump heads at De Oude Meerdijk.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

In total they scored 50 and conceded {64 goals} in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 7 - drew 2 and lost 10 with 23/31 goals scored/conceded.
VVV-Venlo have much to to set right after their shock defeat (1-3) to MVV Maastricht in their previous outing, played at their own home ground. Defender Janssen was the best team player with a rating of 7.63. Janssen scored one goal, hit one key pass and won 3 of 5 duels.
Ahead of that match was the Eredivisie Playoffs away draw versus Almere City (after extra-time) that ended 1-1.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites.

Results were 3 away wins, 1 draw and 2 home wins.
