FC Emmen vs Vitesse Prediction & Betting tips
FC Emmen and Vitesse come into action early on Saturday. At half past four the first whistle blows in the match between the number last and the number three in the rankings.
FC Emmen:
The new calendar year has started badly for FC Emmen. The club from Drenthe is performing just as badly after the winter break as before. FC Twente lost 1-4 at Oude Meerdijk, and it also went wrong midweek, in the away match against Heracles Almelo. The Drenten returned home with a big 4-0 defeat, after a match in which many players from Emmen appeared very weak.
The situation in the ranking is very dire. After sixteen rounds of play, the red and white only played six points together. Coach Dick Lukkien and his selection are still waiting for the first victory. Lukkien has a lot of credit with the club, after the promotion and two subsequent seasons in the Eredivisie, but no coach has absolute job security in professional football. Trainer Ronald Lubbers noted this week that the trainer is absolutely not up for discussion. However, Lukkien would not be the first coach to be fired after the club management made such an announcement. It is abundantly clear that a quick turnaround would be very welcome for Lukkien.
Vitesse:
Where Emmen is unable to win, Vitesse is strung together this season. After the turn of the year, the team from Arnhem shows no signs of weakening. Last week, Heracles Almelo was beaten 0-2 and midweek Vitesse settled with FC Utrecht in their own stadium. Both the match in Almelo and that of last Tuesday was not of a high quality from the Arnhem side. Vitesse is currently in a nice third place, only three points behind list captain Ajax.
“It is true that they are having a hard time,” trainer Thomas Letsch spoke to Vitesse’s own media about FC Emmen. ‘That is also where the danger lies. They want to get their first victory, ”the German coach was wary. Letsch could choose to change his team in a few positions. The program is still full. For example, the cup match against ADO Den Haag is scheduled for next Tuesday. Maybe attacker Armando Broja can show it again from the beginning.
