VVV vs Emmen Predictions

• VVV would go level on points with Emmen if they win on Saturday.
• The visitors are without a win in their last three matches.
• VVV have the worst goal difference in the Eredivisie this season.
• Emmen have only picked up one point on the road.

The hosts are playing their best football at home

VVV have won three of their last six matches against Emmen and have only lost once during that period and both teams scored in four of the pairs’ last six encounters and three of those matches went on to produce over 2.5 goals, so you can see why we have backed a 2-1 home win this weekend.

VVV won their last home game against Twente 2-1 while Emmen picked up their first point away from home when they draw 1-1 with RKC in November. Both teams scored in four of VVV’s and four of Emmen’s last six matches and neither side have kept a single clean sheet in their last six attempts.

VVV have won three times at home this season and Emmen have lost six times on the road, with the hosts averaging 1.29 points per home game and the visitors averaging 0.14 points per away game. VVV have won 43% of their home games and Emmen have lost 86% of their away games, which is a damning statistic for the visitors heading into Saturday’s clash.

Emmen’s miserable away form set to continue

VVV score an average of 1.14 goals per home game and Emmen concede an average of 2.86 points per away game and at home VVV’s games average 3.57 goals and Emmen’s average 3.43 goals on the road, which adds weight to our prediction for a 2-1 final scoreline on Saturday.

Both teams scored in 57% of VVV’s home games and in the same percentage of Emmen’s away games this season, while all of VVV’s home games have produced over 2.5 goals as have 71% of Emmen’s away games. The hosts have netted 8 goals in front of their own fans this season, twice as many goals as Emmen have scored away. VVV haven’t kept any clean sheets at home and Emmen haven’t kept any clean sheets on the road so far this season, which is why we’re expecting both teams to find the back of the net this weekend.

We’re confident that both teams will score on Saturday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1 in favour of VVV. The hosts might not have as many points on the board as their guests but they have performed to a decent standard at home, which is more than can be said for Emmen who have only secured one point on the road. Neither side have looked good at the back in recent weeks but both teams have been scoring on a regular basis which should make for an entertaining ninety minutes.
