FC Emmen vs Venlo Prediction & Betting tips
FC Emmen and VVV Venlo will be responsible for the early game of the Eredivisie Sunday. Last season, Emmen was a team to be reckoned with in-house. Will they continue that line on Sunday?
FC Emmen:
FC Emmen finished the previous season in a creditable twelfth place. The fact that the club from Drenthe managed to stay away from the relegation zone was only due to the excellent results in home games. Emmen took 32 points in 26 duels, and 29 of them were achieved at its own Oude Meerdijk. The assignment for coach Dick Lukkien at the start of this season is therefore clear: something from last season’s home form will have to be included in the away games.
Emmen came through the transfer period so far without too many problems. The better players of last season are largely still under contract with the club that is before the start of its third Eredivisie year. There was the setback that Kerim Frei could no longer be registered, but players like Sergio Pena, Glenn Bijl and Miguel Araujo are available for Lukkien. Simon Tibbling, who had an earlier episode in the Netherlands at FC Groningen, has joined the team.
VVV Venlo:
VVV Venlo closed the previous football year at spot thirteen, a place under FC Emmen. Relegation was a danger for the Limburgers for a long time, but a good run under the halfway point Hans de Koning ensured that VVV managed to take some distance from the dreaded line. Football was often unimaginable. De Koning honestly admitted that the entertainment value of his team’s matches in the battle for survival was not an important criterion.
The yellow-blacks did not have too strong preparation, although De Koning saw clear reasons for this on the club website. ‘Due to various injuries we were often not completely complete,’ said the experienced trainer, who admitted to feeling somewhat in the dark about the strength of his own team and that of Emmen. ‘We will only be able to make any real statements about this in five or six weeks.’ The necessary changes took place at VVV during the summer break, so we will see some unknown players at the kick-off on Sunday.
