SC Heerenveen - FC Emmen betting tips and odds

The online bookies marked SC Heerenveen as the favourites, which makes a lot of sense. Still, we wouldn’t put FC Emmen winning beyond them – not to mention that draws are a strong possibility in relatively balanced games.

The odds are stacked heavily against FC Emmen here, and we can’t see them winning this match. SC Heerenveen are heavily favoured by most betting predictions – so much so that an away bet is priced at around 4.60.

The hosts will be keen to make a swift return to winning ways following their last round’s disappointment. They suffered a dreadful Sparta Rotterdam away defeat without ever getting close to salvaging anything from the game. Having conceded early on in the game, things went from bad to worse for SC Heerenveen.

Few were surprised by the away team’s 3:1 loss in the previous round, harsh as that may sound. They were up against impossibly long odds at 23.00 and were also the away team. For now, they should probably look ahead to more even matchups.

The first step SC Heerenveen need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

FC Emmen are performing rather sub-par whenever they play away. For instance, they have more than 5 conceded goals spread over their most recent 3 away games.

If there’s one thing to note about the history of this matchup, it’s a fact their matches tend to end in a draw. Several matches this season ended inconclusively, so it neems neither team is able to reliably tip the scales one way or another.

The odds being what they are, remember that they were priced with various injuries in mind. The hosts reported that Sven van Beek, Timo Zaal, Andries Noppert, Joost van Aken will have to sit this one out, while FC Emmen will have to make do without Jeff Hardeveld, Ben Scholte, Rui-Jorge Mendes, Mart Lieder, Maikel Kieftenbeld, Météhan Guclu, Danny Hoesen.

At the odds of 1.85 with Betsson and other top online bookmakers, a Home Win wager is a risk worth taking. It’s not the safest bet in the world, but the possible betting value makes it a solid prediction.
