Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Emmen
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-1
Breda
After rolling over Venlo 4-0 in the last game of the regular season, Emmen will be looking to move one step closer to securing the Eredivisie survival when they host Breda at their De Oude Meerdijk. Dick Lukkien’s troops have been scoring goals for fun of late, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play against Breda. Since Luciano Carty is the only absentee in the home team, we believe that punters can find value in betting on the Eredivisie outfit.
Breda, on the other hand, set up a meeting with Emmen by beating Volendam 4-1 in the Eredivisie playoffs quarter-finals. Maurice Steijn’s charges impressed in the clash against the fellow Eerste Divisie side, but given their shaky defence, home win should be considered this time out. In their last meeting at the venue Emmen defeated Breda 2-0, and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself.
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.
