The last few meetings between these two have gone Emmen's way at home, and their attack has been doing the damage in recent weeks. Den Bosch arrive well down the table and will need a response.

Emmen look the sharper side heading into this one.

Den Bosch are down in twelfth with 14 points from the same number of matches, having won just four. That's a real gap between the two sides right now.
Players to watch
Emmen's attack has been carried by F. Quispel, who has six goals in seven matches, with J. Cooper chipping in five and L. Everink supplying three assists.
Den Bosch's main threat is S. Karlsson Grach, with four goals in seven games. It's a useful return, but not quite matching Emmen's firepower up top.

Goals look likely
Both sides have been involved in open matches this season. Emmen have scored 37 and conceded 35 across their last 20 games, while Den Bosch have gone 29 for and 33 against over the same span.
The over 3.5 and under 3.5 goals markets are priced evenly, which fits with two teams that don't tend to play tight, low-scoring football.

Taking everything together, Emmen go into this with the better form, the better league position and a decent recent record in this exact fixture at home.
Den Bosch aren't hopeless and have enough going forward to cause problems, but backing the home side to win feels like the sounder read on the evidence available.
