Prediction

  • Emmen ended a six-game winless run last time out when they ran out 2-0 winners over Excelsior, which leaves them in 15th place and one point above the relegation zone. Ole Romeny was among the goals, by registering a brace he moves onto seven goals for the Eredivisie season, which puts him clear as Emmen's top scorer. Emmen currently boast a winning home record after winning three of their previous 13 matches, while suffering only two losses. Emmen are unbeaten in their last two matches at De Oude Meerdijk and will be looking to win back-to-back home games this weekend.
  • Sparta Rotterdam will be looking to extend their Eredivisie winning streak this weekend. Sparta has won two on the bounce with their last outing ending in a 3-1 home win over Vitesse which leaves them sitting in sixth place on 43 points with nine matches remaining. Arno Verschueren was among the goals, he moved onto eight for the season, which puts him alongside Tobias Lauritsen and Vito van Crooij as Sparta's leading scorers this season. Sparta currently boasts the league's sixth-best away record having won four of their previous 12 away games, while suffering three losses.
