This is an Eerste Divisie meeting between FC Emmen and FC Volendam, and CheckLive has no favourite in the data. It looks genuinely close, with no clear edge for either side going into the match.
FC Emmen have won four of their last five, beating Jong AZ Alkmaar 3-1, Jong Ajax 6-4 and Roda JC Kerkrade 1-0, but lost 0-4 to VVV-Venlo. FC Volendam have two wins in that time, a 6-1 victory over FC Dordrecht and a 3-0 against TOP Oss, alongside league defeats to MVV Maastricht and Jong PSV Eindhoven and a friendly loss to Ajax.
The head-to-head is tight: from seven previous meetings, FC Emmen have won three, FC Volendam two, with two draws. Volendam took the last meeting 1-2, so Emmen will want to correct that here. The key to watch is whether Volendam can reproduce that result or whether Emmen's stronger recent run tells.
