Almere and Emmen battle for Eredivisie spot

The Dutch Eredivisie play-offs finally reach their conclusion this week with a two-legged clash between Almere and FC Emmen, beginning tonight with a place in the top flight at stake.

The hosts finished third in the Eerste Divisie and have seen off FC Eindhoven and VVV-Venlo to reach this matchup.

Emmen on the other hand finished 16th in the Eredivisie and overcame NAC Breda in the last play-off round.

Entertaining, high-scoring clashes have been a major feature of Emmen’s games recently, with both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals landing in six of their last eight games.

Almere are no stranger to seeing both teams find the net themselves, with them and their opponents landing on the scoresheet in four of their last six matches.

Both teams have shown enough attacking intent across their playoff campaigns to show that this may be an enthralling first leg and both teams should be able to combine for at least three goals.

Correct score backers may fancy a 2-1 victory for Emmen, who look to have been underestimated somewhat by the market despite their comprehensive win over NAC Breda.
