FC Emmen
Match Time & Date:

10:30 AM
Prediction: 1-2
Vitesse
Emmen will be looking to put an end to their three-game losing run in the Eredivisie round 17 when they take on Vitesse on Matchday 17. Dick Lukkien’s troops have been struggling at the back of late, with the team conceding 11 goals in total in the previous three league fixtures. Emmen are stuck at the bottom of the standings, and it is no wonder bookies see them as underdogs in Saturday’s football match.
The Vitas, on the other hand, head into the match following back-to-back wins over Heracles and Utrecht. Vitesse aim to overtake Feyenoord in second position in the standings, and given Emmen’s shaky defence, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visiting team. Even though both Hernandez and Tronstad remain in the recovery room, away win should be considered. Carty is rated doubtful for the hosts.
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 (Vitesse):
Nicknamed Vitas, the proud of Gelderland, Vitesse are a Dutch football club based in Arnhem. Vitesse compete in the Dutch Eredivisie and they have yet to win the national championship. However, they finished as runners-up in the Dutch elite division on five occasions (1897–98, 1902–03, 1912–13, 1913–14, 1914–15), while clinching third place in the standings in the 1997/1998 season.
Vitesse did remarkably well to win the 2016/2017 Dutch Cup title, with the team beating AZ Alkmaar in the final at De Kuip in Rotterdam. As a result, the Vitas booked their place in the Europa League group stages where they face the likes of Lazio, Nice and Zulte-Waregem.
Vitesse are well known for their yellow jerseys with black stripes, while the club’s away colour is black. GelreDome is the home ground of the Dutch team and the capacity of the venue is 21.248. It has to be noted that famous Spanish footballer Albert Ferrer was in charge of the club in the 2010/2011 season.
