This match features two teams living in the basement of the Eredivisie, FC Emmen holding 17th place and RKC Waalwijk lying 14th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

Insights:
  • FC Emmen have the most conceded goals in the first half (29) in Eredivisie
  • RKC Waalwijk have the fewest matches over the total-line (7) in Eredivisie

FC Emmen and RKC Waalwijk should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting RKC Waalwijk have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 4-3-17 (win-draw-loss) from 24 matches.

FC Emmen form and stats

With 1 Eredivisie win, 4 draws and 8 defeats from their home games, FC Emmen are certainly not brimming with confidence. The last three games played by Emmen, regardless of arena, have all ended draws.

Emmen manager D. Lukkien and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Feyenoord (placed 5th) in the Eredivisie. 1-1 away at FC Groningen before that.

This is expected to be a close game, with Emmen perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with FC Emmen as a small favourite), we find five games. FC Emmen has won three of these, drawn zero and lost two.

Emmen has scored 17 league goals at home this season, in 13 matches. Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Emmen having conceded 34 goals here at De Oude Meerdijk so far. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 4 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
