20:00
Prediction: 0-1
Heerenveen
Struggling FC Emmen will look to put an end to their four-game losing run in Dutch top flight when they face Heerenveen on Sunday evening. The Kannibals have been struggling in front of goal of late, with the team scoring just one goal in the last four league games. With just one win this season, the home side are sitting at the bottom of the standings, and they are desperate to grab something from Sunday’s match. The likes of Ahmed El Messaoudi, Jeff Hardeveld and Maikel Kieftenbeld miss out through injuries, whilst all Metehan Güclü, Mart Lieder and Kyan van Dorp are rated doubtful.
Heerenveen, on the other hand, will be looking to build on a hard-fought 2-1 win over Twente, and they are surely capable of making life difficult for Emmen. The hosts have only one win in the new campaign, which is the main reason why we are positive the visiting side will emerge triumphant in Sunday’ clash. Both Mats Köhlert and Thom Haye face race against the clock to be fit for the match, while Timossi Andersson remains in the recovery room.
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.
Highlighted Team (Heerenveen):
Heerenveen is a Dutch football club that is well known for their white shirts with blue stripes. De Superfriezen (The Super Frisians) play home matches at Abe Lenstra Stadium, which has the capacity of 26,400 people.
Heerenveen have yet to win the Eredivisie title, but they impressed in the 1999/00 season, with the team finishing the process in second position in the standings. Thanks to a top-two finish, the club booked their place in the Champions League. Heerenveen, though, recorded only one in the group stages of the elite competition as they defeated Olympiakos 1-0 at home ground. De Superfizien retain a fierce rivals with Cambuur, and there have always been fireworks in clashes between the two teams.
It has to be noted that Heerenveen won the Dutch Cup in the 2008/09 season, with the team beating Twente on penalties in the title game. New Chelsea signing Hakim Ziyech played for Heerenveen at the start of his senior career.
