Prediction: 2-1
Nijmegen
Emmen and NEC Nijmegen face each other at De Oude Meerdijk in what is expected to be a close Eredivisie encounter. Dick Lukkien’s troops proved their worth in a 2-1 win over Cambuur, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to secure the Eredivisie survival. All Lucas Bernadou, Jari Vlak, and Jeff Hardeveld remain on the sidelines with injuries, while there are no fresh selection worries in the home team.
The visitors, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 4-2 loss to PSV, but seeing that the relegation-threatened hosts want this win more, we are tempted to put our money on Jeff Hardeveld’s troops. Ivan Marquez Alvarez is banned for the match, while fellow defender Calvin Verdonk faces race against the clock to be fit for Sunday’s encounter. In the first half of the season NEC Nijmegen recorded a 3-1 win over Emmen.
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.
