FC Emmen form and stats
0 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses. That’s the product of FC Emmen playing as the away team in the Eredivisie this season. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for FC Emmen, who have now gone ten games without a victory. The VVV-Venlo game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Emmen's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Emmen aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 212 league minutes without a goal. M. de Leeuw was the last player to find the net.
Emmen failed to get anything from their last game, a Eredivisie home match vs Ajax (placed 1st) that ended with defeat 0-5. Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting AZ's place.
Emmen lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-5 beating and focus on this one. It's a bit worrying for Emmen that their goalkeeper Felix Wiedwald made seven saves in the Ajax game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss.
