The home team is 17 games without a win in Eredivisie, while Heerenveen are 10 games without win. Normally, the focus of both teams is on the league but here comes to Cup match. A chance of both teams to stop the negative trends.

Emmen is in a deep poor moment of existence with losing the last 4 games always with conceding at least two goals in the match: 2-3 vs midtable Utrecht, 1-4 vs Twente, 0-4 vs midtable Heracles, and most lately 1-4 vs solid Vitesse. Well, it's terrible to get out of this rhythm as Emmen have once again match in a short time, but it's the same for their today's rivals anyway. At least Heerenveen is showing sights of improvement in the last two games. Heerenveen sits eighth despite their poor form Heerenveen went into the previous game on a nine-game winless run. The first-half was a rather dull affair with the only real chance falling to Henk Veerman. Heerenveen had the better of the second half too, but in the 78th minute, Joshua John fired VVV in front with an excellent strike. Substitute Benjamin Nygren found the top corner in the 89th minute to equalize for Heerenveen and rescue a point. Now, Heereneven will have even easier task against Emmen. Also, the important information is that Heerenvern signed Tibor Halilovic from Rijeka NK, a Croatian midfielder that should improve the idea of the team and activity in the central zone. Also, visitors signed a Swedish side back Rami Kaib (Elfsborg) that should improve that part of the team. So, in Heerenveen, they are pushing and risking investments to improve their results. A win here would be a definitely lifting thing for all the people in the club, after 10 games.

I feel Heerenven's moment is getting better and better while the hosts' ship is falling down. This may be the ideal chance for visitors to stop the negative trend, they are definitely the better side on paper. Odds are not bad either. 3/5 Trust.

主队在荷甲有17场未胜，而海伦芬则有10场未胜。正常情况下，两支球队的焦点都在联赛上，但现在轮到杯赛了。两队都有机会阻止负面趋势。

埃曼在过去的四场比赛中都输掉了至少两个球，这让他的处境非常糟糕:2-3输给排名中间的乌得勒支，1-4输给排名中间的特温特，0-4输给排名中间的赫拉克勒斯，最近是1-4输给排名靠前的维特斯。埃曼在很短的时间内又要进行一场比赛，脱离这种节奏是很糟糕的，但对他们今天的对手来说也是如此。至少在过去的两场比赛中，海伦芬显示出了进步的迹象。尽管海伦芬的状态很差，但她还是排在了第八位。海伦芬在上一场比赛中取得了九连胜。上半场很无聊，唯一的机会落在了维曼身上。海伦芬在下半场也取得了更好的成绩，但在第78分钟，Joshua John在VVV的前面打出了一记精彩的射门。替补上场的本杰明·尼格伦在第89分钟为赫伦芬扳平比分，挽回了一分。现在，赫琳甚至面对埃曼会有更简单的任务。此外，重要的消息是，希尔伦文从克罗地亚中场里耶卡·NK那里签下了蒂博尔·哈利罗维奇，这将提高球队的实力和在中区的活跃度。此外，客队签下了瑞典边后卫拉米·凯布(埃尔夫斯堡)，这将会提高球队的水平。因此，在海伦芬，他们正在推动和冒险投资，以改善他们的结果。在10场比赛之后，在这里获胜对俱乐部所有人来说都是一件振奋人心的事。

我觉得海伦芬的时刻越来越好，而埃门却在走下坡路。这可能是客队停止负面趋势的理想机会，从纸面上看，他们肯定是更好的一面。机会也不坏。
