FC Emmen form and stats

When playing at home in the Eredivisie, FC Emmen have managed 3 wins, 8 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 14 games.

Happy days for FC Emmen in their previous game, a fixture away at SC Cambuur (placed 18th) that ended with a 2-1 victory. A late climax in the match against SC Cambuur as the winning goal came two minutes into overtime; scored by Veldmate. Diemers (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 8.15/10. Diemers served one assist, hit six key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 31 successful passes (of 36 total).

NEC form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Eredivisie travels is 4 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats.

The manager Meijer was unhappy after their last game, played at their home venue Goffertstadion. NEC suffered a 2-4 loss to PSV (placed 3rd). A loony game with lots of goals last time out for NEC, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that fixture, will this fixture be as enjoying? NEC goalkeeper Cillessen was glad for a brilliant day's work against PSV, but despite registering six saves the loss could not be stopped. Midfield player Tannane was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.6/10. Tannane scored two goals, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.

Prior to that result NEC won their away game at RKC Waalwijk. The scoreline was 3-1.

The attacking power of NEC when travelling is not overwhelming with 12 goals scored from 13 league matches away. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. It's not easy to score on NEC as they have only conceded 12 goals from these away games.
