Dordrecht host Emmen in the Eerste Divisie. Emmen have made a solid start to the season, while Dordrecht have struggled to get going in the early rounds.
These two sides met as recently as February, and the history between them stretches back well over a decade. Whether recent meetings tell us much about how this one plays out is another matter.

Dordrecht have managed only a single win in that same span, at home to Jong Ajax, with the rest split between one draw and five defeats. The recent losses have been heavy too, including 6-1 away at Volendam and 3-6 at home to Jong AZ.
Both sides have leaked goals freely, but Dordrecht's return of one win in seven stands out.

Goal difference tells a similar story. Emmen have scored and conceded 17 each, so they're not exactly watertight, but Dordrecht's numbers are worse: nine goals for and 21 against in the same span.
That's a heavy separation for so early in the campaign.
Where the goals come from
Emmen's scoring has been concentrated in two players. F. Quispel has six goals in seven matches and J. Cooper has five, together accounting for most of the team's league goals this season. L. Everink leads the assist charts with three.
There's no equivalent scoring breakdown available for Dordrecht in this set, though the disciplinary numbers show A. Ouarghi and M. Vetkal picking up the most bookings this season.
Emmen's threat looks reliant on a couple of individuals finding form on the day.

What to expect
Given the table gap and recent form, Emmen arrive with more going for them, though their defence has been open enough to concede regularly this season too. Dordrecht's home form has been poor across their last seven matches, with only the win over Jong Ajax to show for it.
If Emmen's front two keep producing and Dordrecht's defence stays leaky, goals at both ends wouldn't be a surprise. Whether Dordrecht can find any response at home is the open part of this one.

The numbers point towards Emmen being the sturdier side coming into this, but Dordrecht have shown occasional life at home in the past and Emmen's own defensive record isn't spotless. That keeps things a little unpredictable from game to game.
With nothing to test that view against here, we're happy to leave this one alone rather than force a pick.
