Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
De Oude Meerdijk will host Friday’s Eredivisie game between FC Emmen and FC Volendam, the two teams who sit in the relegation zone. Emmen aim to bounce back from a 3-1 loss to Sparta Rotterdam, but this game will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts. All Jeff Hardeveld, Metehan Güclü and Mart Lieder are rated doubtful, while Maikel Kieftenbeld will not be available for the rest of the season due to a serious ACL injury. Miguel Araujo is banned for the match.
FC Volendam, on the other hand, will be looking to make amends for back-to-back losses to Ajax and Fortuna Sittard, and, as a result, they are desperate to grab something from this match. Anyhow, we believe that there is a big value on betting on both teams to score since both sides will go for a victory. Francesco Antonucci should be the only absentee for the visitors.
Highlighted Player (Anco Jansen):
Born in Zwolle, Netherlands on March 9, 1989, Anco Jansen is a pacey winger who started his senior career in his home-town club FC Zwolle. After scoring two goals in 40 league appearances for the club, he joined Groningen in 2008, but he did not see any game action with the Green and White Army in the Eredivisie.
Anco Jansen played for the likes of Cambuur, SC Veendam, De Graafschap, Roda JC, and Boluspor as well before joining FC Emmen in 2017. Anco Jansen made his Eredivisie debut with FC Emmen in a 2-1 win over ADO Den Haag on August 12, 2018, with the winger finding the net after 42 minutes.
His main position is left winger, but he is used as both centre-forward and attacking midfielder as well. His preferred foot is right. Anco Jansen has yet to earn a call-up with the Netherlands national football team.
