FC Emmen vs Feyenoord Prediction, Tips & Match Preview
FC Emmen vs Feyenoord
Dutch Eredivisie
Date: 21 May 2023, Sunday
Kick-off at 13:30 UK / 14:30 CET
Venue: De Oude Meerdijk (Emmen).
FC Emmen will be searching for salvation points on Sunday afternoon when they host new Eredivisie champions Feyenoord in Gameweek No 33 at De Oude Meerdijk.
The hosts currently hold the relegation playoffs position but they sit only one point below Excelsior with a significantly better goal difference.
The problem for head coach Dick Lukkien and his men is the fact they need to face the likes of Feyenoord and FC Utrecht (away) in the remaining two rounds.
Also, FC Emmen have been dreadful defensively in recent weeks. They shipped eight goals in the last two defeats to Twente and AZ Alkmaar.
It is by no means the form you want to carry into the tie against the newly-crowned champions who have won twelve games on the trot in the league.
Feyenoord lifted the Eredivisie trophy for the first time since 2016/17 campaign thanks to a stellar season with just 1 defeat in 32 outings.
They are eight points above second-placed PSV Eindhoven with just two games left to play. It will be interesting to see whether head coach Arne Slot will rotate his squad in the remaining two outings knowing Feyenoord have already clinched the title.

FC Emmen vs Feyenoord Prediction
This match has a much greater importance for the hosts but the gap in quality between these rivals is just huge and we can hardly see Feyenoord losing this one. The visitors are on a run of twelve subsequent wins while Emmen allowed eight goals in the previous two league losses.
We will take the 2.10 odds for Feyenoord to have the lead at the half time and win the match at the end, while you can alternatively back the visitors to win to nil at the 2.75 odds.
HT/FT Feyenoord/Feyenoord @ 2.10 (11/10)
Feyenoord to win to nil @ 2.75 (7/4) odd.
