FC Emmen form and stats

FC Emmen have played 4 Eredivisie games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 0-2-2 (wins-draws-losses). It's trouble wherever Emmen are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.

Emmen are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus AZ. A defeat was the result before that one, 1-3 away at Vitesse.

Felix Wiedwald had a busy but productive day in the AZ match. Despite making eight saves the loss could not be prevented.

Despite playing at their own arena the home team are massive underdogs in this game. The home fans will enjoy their drinks and snacks knowing that the chances of a positive outcome are very slim. When Emmen have been in this position before, they have won zero, drawn one and lost one from two games. one defeat by at least two goals.

Goals decide football matches and FC Emmen are scoring many of them at home; 8 on target from 4 league matches. As for conceded goals, Emmen's unpleasant statistic is 11 goals surrendered.

Ajax have been producing wins at home as well, producing a total of five victories in a row regardless of arena. Momentum is building for Ajax in their away games, having won their two previous outings.

The Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 180 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

Ajax won their last game, 3-1 versus Midtjylland played at home. A home win before that, celebrating 5-0 vs Heracles.

As mentioned earlier, Ajax will not be satisfied unless they get a comfortable victory in this game. Performing as huge favourites away from home has earlier resulted in twelve wins (nine by two or more goals winning margin), zero draws and one surprising defeat.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Champions League trip to Liverpool.

Ajax are scoring goals for fun in their league games away this season, having clocked up more than three goals per game on average (17 goals from 4 away games).
