FC Emmen form and stats

FC Emmen have collected 13 points from their Eredivisie home games so far after 2-7-1.

The fans are hoping that FC Emmen will strike back in this game, putting things right after the 1-3 away loss in the KNVB Beker fixture against PSV. Diemers, a forward, was the declared top player for the team in that fixture, and was presented with a rating of 8.01 (out of 10). Diemers scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 5 of 5 times.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Vitesse that ended 2-2.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Emmen have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 6 games) they have won 3 times, drawn 3 and lost 0.

The FC Emmen fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 10 matches. 12 goals have been conceded.
