FC Emmen vs Sparta Rotterdam Prediction & Betting tips
FC Emmen has suddenly found the winning formula. On Friday, the Drenten hope to book their third competition victory in a row, when Sparta Rotterdam comes to visit. The South Hollanders are absolutely out of shape.
FC Emmen:
Until two weeks ago, relegation seemed a matter of time for FC Emmen, which was unable to win in the Eredivisie. Six draws, that was the meager harvest after 22 rounds. But two weeks later, things look a lot more positive. After a 3-2 win over PEC Zwolle, they won again last week. The victory was a surprising one, as FC Utrecht in De Galgenwaard was the opponent of Dick Lukkien’s team. But especially in the first half, Emmen made a strong impression. A goal by Sergio Pena was enough for a 0-1 victory, also because goalkeeper Michael Verrips made some good saves.
Emmen is now on twelve points. Of course there are still not many, but the gap to sixteenth place, which entails promotion / relegation matches, is only five points. In order to achieve immediate enforcement, a gap of ten points has to be closed, which is perhaps a bit too much, even for Emmen in its current form. But in any case there is hope again for an extension of the Eredivisie, where it was a long way off until recently.
Sparta:
Where Emmen has suddenly managed to find its rhythm, Sparta has recently been having a hard time. In their last seven games, the Spartans were unable to win. Last week, a disappointing result was achieved at Het Kasteel, against the low-ranking Willem II. Despite the difference in the rankings between the two teams, the Tilburg team was not inferior to the club from Rotterdam-West. Sparta left the field with a 0-2 loss, which kept it at 23 points.
A month and a half ago enforcement seemed within reach, but now the Spartans have to fear relegation again. The margin with sixteenth place is only six points. “We look at ourselves critically, but we certainly keep the confidence,” said midfielder Adil Auasssar to the club’s own media. “We are in a difficult phase, but that does not mean that we still have a good team.” If so, it should sooner or later reappear. Perhaps the bad results of the past period make that trainer Henk Fraser gives other players a chance in the base.
