Emmen AZ II betting prediction
 Emmen |
|  AZ II |
Betting suggestion:
Emmen must defend its current position, which is the final spot granting access to the promotion play-offs. However, Jong AZ tend to be a tricky opponent to overcome, boasting the highest average possession rate in the 2024/2025 Eerste Divisie. With that in mind, our betting recommendation is on Asian Under 3 Goals, a selection that has only lost in 4 of Emmen’s 17 home fixtures and in 5 of Jong AZ’s 17 away matches this season.

Emmen saw their run of four consecutive victories come to an end with a defeat in the previous round, but they still occupy the final play-off spot for promotion. The team is known for their aggressive pressing, and currently ranks as the second most foul-prone side in the 2024/2025 Eerste Divisie, averaging 14.5 fouls committed per match. Manager Alfons Arts may be able to name an unchanged starting XI in the 4-2-3-1 formation, provided that forward Chardi Landu, who limped off during the second half of the last match, is cleared by the medical department. Should he be ruled out, Cameroonian Franck Evina is expected to deputise once again. German midfielder Julius Kade remains sidelined with a knee injury sustained on 11 March 2025. The standout performer in the Emmen squad has been French left winger Kelian Nsona, who has registered 12 goals and 5 assists in 34 appearances.

The away team is currently in the 13th position of the league, with 42 points won, after 11 wins, 9 draws and 14 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in a home match against Jong PSV, by (2‑2). In the last match, they lost in a home match against FC Volendam, by (0‑1).

Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 34 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 20 times and have only turned the score around in 3.
Jong AZ is a reserve side competing in the Eerste Divisie with the sole aim of giving competitive experience to young players who are being developed for AZ Alkmaar’s senior squad, which plays in the Eredivisie and other top-tier competitions. Nonetheless, the club is displeased with its recent form, having failed to win any of its last four league matches in the 2024/2025 campaign (three draws and a defeat in the most recent outing). Interestingly, however, Jong AZ remain unbeaten in their last three away fixtures (two wins and one draw during that stretch). The side holds the highest average possession rate in the division (56.9%), which often allows them to dictate the tempo of their matches. Head coach Lee-Roy Echteld may name an unchanged starting eleven in the 4-2-3-1 formation, provided that left-back Misha Engel and left winger Ro-Zangelo Daal, who both picked up knocks in the previous match, are declared fit by the club’s medical staff. If ruled out, Jeremiah Esajas and Sem van Duijn are expected to deputise once again. Jong AZ’s standout performer this season has been Daal, with 12 goals and 3 assists in 27 appearances. In his absence, the creative responsibility shifts to right-back Elijah Dijkstra, who has contributed 3 goals and 8 assists across 24 outings.
Confirmed Lineup: Daniël Virginio Deen, Billy van Duijl, Elijah Dijkstra, Mathijs Menu, Misha Engel, Nick Twisk , Job Kalisvaart, Rio Robbemond, Anthony Smits, Ro-Zangelo Daal, Sem van Duijn.
Coach: M. Vonk.
