Predictions and Odds for Venlo vs Emmen
One of the best Second Division sides will try to knock out a struggling Eredivisie team in the round of 16 Dutch Cup encounters.
Contents
Under 2.5 Goals
Both of these teams don't belong among the best ‘over' teams, so the rational choice here is to go the other way. Even though these teams met in the past quite often as they are mostly situated in the lower division, a Cup match is always a bit of a different affair than a regular league match.
Venlo to Win
Emmen won four out of their last five matches that were played in the Second Division. Emmen was promoted last season into the Top Division. But, things are looking different this season, Venlo is inside the top eight of the Eerste Divisie, while Emmen is in the relegation battle among the first leaguers. Venlo will have a good opportunity to take advantage of their opponent's struggles this season.

Team News, Preview, and Predicted Lineups
Venlo
The home team is in great spirits looking to extend their positive run of results that has seen them going six games without tasting a defeat. They won four times during that streak and will be hoping that it will give them a chance to surprise a struggling Eredivisie team. Venlo has scored in four games in a row with Sven Braken their leading scorer with nine goals. They are a top-seven team when it comes to the efficiency rating, but defensively they need to show improvement. They are fighting hard to stay within the top eight teams in the Second Division which would allow them to play for promotion to the Eredivisie. In their last Cup round, they advanced further by beating an amateur side Dongen by a score of 2-1.
Predicted lineup: van der Gouw, Janssen, Koglin, Ketting, Dekker, Klaasen, Sedlacek, Johansson, Huisman, de Boer, Venema.
Emmen
It's not a surprise to see Emmen fighting to keep their Eredivisie status for next season. They are a club that spent most of its professional time in the lower league. They have the second-worst attack in the Top Division, but somehow they are still with a solid chance of staying in the Eredivisie because there are so many teams struggling this season. However, given the fact that their budget for reinforcements is limited, it's hard to see whether they can pull it off against all the odds and stay away from relegation. Their main focus right now is directed toward that goal, and playing in the Cup could be just an obstacle. That, of course, doesn't mean that they don't care about it, it is a simple fact that their focus needs to be where it matters. This is the opinion plenty of their fans share. In their previous Cup round, they barely managed to get past an amateur side ADO 20 Heemskerk after the penalty shootout.
Predicted lineup: van der Hart, Bouchouari, Araujo, Veldmate, Burnet, Veendorp, Vlak, Mendes, Diemers, ter Haar Romeny, Zivkovic.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
Player to Watch: Sven Braken
The 29-year-old has been nothing but sensational for Venlo this season scoring nine goals in 18 appearances with five assists. He played almost every single minute available in those matches, and it's hard to see a more important player in Venlo that the Maastricht native.
