Utrecht II

Betting suggestion:

Emmen has not been performing well and achieving good results at home, but they have a chance to return to the playoff qualification zone if they manage to beat Jong Utrecht, who holds several negative records in the 2024/2025 Eerste Divisie, including the worst defence and the second-worst attack. Considering this, we are betting on Emmen to score in both halves, as, even though the club tends to score more goals in the second half of home games, Jong Utrecht has only managed to reach half-time without conceding in three of their 14 away matches.

Preview
Emmen and Utrecht II meet at De Oude Meerdijk, in a match for the 30th round of the Eerste Divisie. FC Emmen got an away win by (1‑2), in the last league head‑to‑head, played in 30‑08‑2024. The head‑to‑head history of the last 3 years favours the home team, since in the last 5 matches they won 5.

Analysis Emmen

The home team faces Utrecht II, in a match for the 30 round, which had been delayed, after 13 wins, 5 draws and 12 losses in the league so far. Interestingly enough, this is a team that has had better results in away matches than at home, since they have won 25 points in away matches and only 16 at their stadium. For the league, Emmen won 13 points out of 30 possible points, after 4 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses in the last 10 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 16 of their 30 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 4. there is 1 period that stands out in the last 15 home matches for this competition: they have scored 11 of their 22 goals between minutes (46'‑60').

A victory will secure Emmen’s return to the promotion play-off zone, a group the club has not been part of since matchday 28 of the 2024/2025 Eerste Divisie. However, there is concern over their home form, having won just one of their last six matches at their stadium (alongside four defeats and one draw in this period). Emmen’s main characteristic is aggressive pressing, which sometimes goes over the limit, making them the second most fouling team in the league (averaging 14.4 fouls committed per match). Head coach Alfons Arts will make changes to the previous starting lineup, based on a 4-2-3-1 system, as Moroccan right-back Faris Hammouti returns from suspension and could feature on the left if Robin Schouten remains sidelined through injury. German midfielder Fridolin Wagner will serve a suspension due to an accumulation of five yellow cards. There are also concerns over left-winger Alaa Bakir and midfielder Julius Kade, who were forced off with injuries in the second half of the previous match. If ruled out, Jalen Hawkins and Torben Rhein are likely to replace them. The standout player for Emmen is French right-winger Kelian Nsona, who has contributed nine goals and five assists in 30 appearances.

Confirmed Lineup: J. Hoekstra, Faris Hammouti, Dennis Vos, Pascal Mulder, Mike te Wierik, Torben Rhein, Michael Martin, Alaa Bakir, Jalen Hawkins, Yannick Eduardo, Kelian Nsona Wa Saka.
Coach: A. Arts.

Jong Utrecht is a reserve team competing in the Eerste Divisie solely to provide experience for young players being prepared for the senior Utrecht squad, which plays in the Eredivisie and other top-tier competitions. However, it remains embarrassing for the club to sit in second-to-last place in the 2024/2025 Eerste Divisie and rank as the third-worst away side in the league, with just 19% of points gained (eight points from 14 away matches). Jong Utrecht possesses the second-worst attack in the competition, scoring only 25 goals in 29 matches (an average of 0.86 goals per game) and maintaining this poor offensive output away from home (12 goals in total, averaging 0.85 per away fixture). To make matters worse, they have the worst defence in the league, conceding 62 goals in total (an average of 2.13 goals per match), with their defensive performances deteriorating further away from home (32 goals conceded, averaging 2.28 per away game). As a result, the team has the worst clean sheet record, having kept just two shutouts so far. Jong Utrecht is also the second-worst team in terms of finishing, averaging 11.2 shots per match, and the second-lowest in shots on target, with an average of 4.1 per game. Head coach Ivar van Dinteren will be forced to make changes to his previous starting lineup, which was based on a 4-3-3 system, as goalkeeper Kevin Gadellaa serves a suspension following a direct red card in the last match. Andres Dithmer is expected to start in goal, given that Tom de Graaff is the second most beaten goalkeeper in the league (conceding an average of 2.2 goals per game). Additionally, right-back Rickson van Hees, midfielder Rafik El Arguioui, and right-winger Miliano Jonathans remain unavailable. The standout player for Jong Utrecht is Greek forward Georgios Charalampoglou, who has scored five goals in 23 appearances.

Confirmed Lineup: Tom de Graaff, Wessel Kooy, Massien Ghaddari, Jesper van Riel, Gibson Yah, Neal Viereck, Sil van der Wegen, Oualid Agougil, Emil Rohd, Lynden Edhart, Georgios Charalampoglou.
