We said: NEC 1-0 Emmen

We expect this game to be a closely-fought contest given the fact that both sides do not tend to score many goals. However, Emmen have conceded 19 goals in eight matches on their travels this season and have the worst away record in the division, so we are expecting the home side to prevail here. Read more.
