Prediction: 2-2
Excelsior
De Oude Meerdijk will host Saturday’s football game between Emmen and Excelsior, the two relegation-threatened teams. Emmen failed to impress in a 3-1 loss to Volendam, with the team extending their winless run to six games. Dick Lukkien’s troops are eager to put an end to the negative trend, and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in the relegation six-pointer. Both Jeff Hardeveld and Maikel Kieftenbeld remain in the recovery room, while all Lorenzo Burnet, Oussama Darfalou, Rui Mendes, Metehan Guclu, and Mart Lieder are major doubts.
The Rotterdammers, on the other hand, aim to put an end to their four-match losing run. Since Excelsior will go for a win as well, we are going to put our money on both teams to score this time out. Forward Marouan Azarkan limped off with injury in the Rotterdam derby at the weekend, with Couhaib Driouech likely to step up.
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.
