Willem II - FC Emmen betting tips and odds

Willem II are easily the favourites in the match this Sunday, but we wouldn’t call a Home Win bet at the odds of 2.03 safe, exactly. They are more likely to win than not, but FC Emmen may have a few tricks up their sleeve yet.

FC Emmen appear severely unprepared for a clash with Willem II, to the point of being considered hard underdogs. We would consider even a draw a success, so the long 3.60 odds for an away win bit seem fitting.

Willem II are coming off from a crushing 3:1 home loss against Ajax in the previous round. They managed an even score up until the 45-minute mark, but it all fell apart after that. To be fair, they were up against a vastly superior team, so the previous match can’t be reliably used to judge their form.

FC Emmen are coming off from a rough 0:2 loss to PSV at their home stadium. After a stalemate in the first half, the heavily favoured PSV won with a considerable goal difference.

The first step Willem II 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.

With 6 goals in their own net over the last 3 matches, FC Emmen’s defence leaves a lot to be desired.

With a 17th place in the Eredivisie rankings, Willem II can’t afford to relax even though there’s plenty of time left in the season. They’ll need a strong performance this Sunday if they’re aiming to get out of the relegation zone.

FC Emmen are in position 18th in the league table. It’s still too early to be overly pessimistic, but they’re in a tough spot. Avoiding relegation is getting harder with each passing round.

At this point, the clash between these two teams is notorious for producing inconclusive results. They already have several tied matches on record in this season alone, which is ultimately worse for the home team who are considered favourites.

An Over 3.5 Goals bet has strong chances of success here, so we can safely recommend it. With the teams’ records for scoring and conceding in mind, the 2.87 odds offered at Betfair are more than fair in terms of value.
