Jong FC Utrecht vs FC Emmen (Pick, Prediction, Preview)

Jong FC Utrecht - FC Emmen


Where Young FC Utrecht win but hard to hit, FC Emmen finds himself in a respectable seventh place back. Knowing that the promises of Ajax and PSV are top there, it looks good for the club Drenthe.

The current situation is for Jong FC Utrecht quite different. With an eighteenth place and six points ahead of the fatal last place, they should definitely pull of. Everyone knows the unpredictability of this competition and so it is not inconceivable that the teams are going to score points among Domstedelingen.

Yet there are glimmers in Utrecht light on the horizon. After Ajax two weeks ago, was held to a draw, also had the team in form, Almere City, trouble with the team of Robin Pronk. FC Utrecht finally kept a clean sheet and thereby got a run, was also due to a failing Jasper Waalkens. The invader Almere City had helped in the final two great chances soap.

The last victory of Pronk and his team has now been a while ago. In September knew Jong FC Utrecht last to address the three points, then they won Helmond Sport. Meanwhile, the time they once again grab the three points, whether they will succeed against subtopper FC Emmen is still questionable.

Winning the little ones: FC Emmen

Under coach Dick Lukkien involves the Emmen Egyptians kind to the wind. The results can more constant, but are usually fine. Good enough to find himself back in seventh place with appropriate options for more. However, one requirement is that they continue to grab points, the differences within the top ten are indeed very small.

Monday was a draw against MVV. The team from Maastricht at that time was the leader in the Jupiler League and had just won three games in a row. FC Emmen had the better of the game and might have deserved a little more than a point. However, the defense of MVV was not bad, allowing a goalless draw was certainly understandable.

If they want to continue to run at the top, and finally participate in the Play-Offs, they need to know to win at least the ‘little ones’. That worked so far with mixed success. In away games they do otherwise fine: there were lost only two away games. There were only three teams that are able to produce better results in away games.
