Most scoring team
Psv U21 does not have fond memories of the match earlier this season in Emmen. The club from Drenthe was no less than 5-0 too strong in the second round of the Jupiler League. The victory over Young PSV turned out to be the prelude to an excellent season. FC Emmen is the most scoring team in the Jupiler League (58) and is in a solid fifth place. With Cas Peters they also have the league's top scorer. He has already scored seventeen times.
Loss in Lichtstadderby
Last week, Young PSV took on city rival FC Eindhoven. The Lichtstadderby ended in a 2-1 loss, which means that head coach Darije Kalezic's team is now in twelfth place. After the winter break they won comfortably at home against young FC Twente with 4-1, in addition, psv U21 lost at Achilles '29. The gap to number eleven Almere City FC is seven points, the point difference with number nineteen Helmond Sport is only six points. To stay out of the bottom regions, it is important that a victory is recorded tonight at De Herdgang.
Coach change
Despite FC Emmen performing above expectations this season, it was announced in December that Joop Gall's contract would not be renewed. On June 30 his contract expires, for next season Emmen will look for a new trainer.
