FC Emmen displayed a poor performance in their recent match against AZ Alkmaar on the road, as they were thrashed 5:1 to drop crucial three points. In that match, their defense was a disaster as they conceded five goals in the first half, which undoubtedly crushed their spirits by far, and all they could account for was Richairo Živković's consolation goal in the 50th minute.
Prior to that, they fell short of expectations at De Oude Meerdijk against FC Twente as they succumbed to a convincing 3:0 defeat to drop a crucial three points in their fight for survival in the top flight.
Their home form in the last 16 matches has been cause for concern, as they have shown close to nothing with their floundering performance that has witnessed them record three wins, nine draws, and four losses to accumulate 18 points, making their chances of success here unlikely.
In the standings, they presently occupy 16th place with 28 points in the relegation playoffs and are only a point adrift from safety. Collecting all three points here will be crucial if they are to distance themselves from the relegation playoffs.
Probable Starting XI

Tears of joy filled the eyes of both staff and fans at De Kuip as Arne Slot's men convincingly defeated Go Ahead Eagles 3:0 to clinch their 16th Eredivisie title for the first time since 2017 thanks to individual goals from Oussama Idrissi, Santiago Gimenez, and Igor Paixao.
Prior to that, they made the trip to Stadion Woudestein to lock horns with struggling side Excelsior Rotterdam, and Santiago Gimenez's brace in that game made sure they romped to a comfortable 2:0 victory, justifying their role as overwhelming favorites.
In the Eredivisie, they have been a force to be reckoned with, as they are currently on a twelve-match winning streak, and it's also worth mentioning that their unbeaten run extends as long as 26 matches, having last tasted defeat last September at the hands of PSV Eindhoven on the road (4:3).
They presently occupy first place with 79 points, and though they have accomplished what they were looking for, which is to be crowned champions and secure a UEFA Champions League spot this season, they have nothing to play for at the moment with two games to spare. All in all, they will want to conclude their season on a high note by extending their lead at the summit.
Probable Starting XI
Formation: 4-2-3-1

Expert Betting Tips
FC Emmen enter this encounter with the sole intention of securing all three points that could possibly distance them from the relegation playoffs; however, that could prove to be an arduous task as they are up against the Eredivisie champions, who have been a force to be reckoned with this season, and it looks likely that they'll fall short of expectations once again.
Feyenoord may be crowned champions, but their job is still not quite done as they look to conclude their season on a high note, and that means securing all maximum points in their two remaining matches. Their victory here is one not to be doubted as they boast a superior squad on paper.
As such, another convincing win for the Eredivisie Champions is to be expected, and picking them up in the handicap of -1.5 should be enough to surface here.
- Handicap 2 (-1.5) for 2.34
- Corners - Over 10 for 2.00
- Goals - Over 3.5 for 2.14
