- ADO Den Haag are the top dogs in the Eerste Divisie with around 46 points on the board after 17 games.
- They have the longest current unbeaten run in the league and are the only team in the top-five with a prolific goal-scoring record, with a shade over three strikes per game averaged across their last five.

FC Emmen
- FC Emmen have won two and drawn three of their last five, including a 2-1 win at Jong FC Utrecht and a 1-1 draw with Willem II.
- Emmen are a deep, compact, physical side that sit deep and look to win duels and make runs on counter attacks or set-pieces. Based on this style, this ADO Den Haag vs FC Emmen betting tips section would note Emmen's resilience and their danger on set-pieces.
- Menno van Dam’s men are mid-table on around 25 points from 18 games, struggling to put a consistent run together but proving tough to beat.
- Emmen have scored crucial second-half goals this season, so look for a late surge from the visitors, who are known for scoring a disproportionate number of goals between the 46th and 60th minutes.
- Emmen will try to frustrate ADO’s natural rhythm by sitting deep and getting men behind the ball, but they will also look to expose the home side on set-pieces and when they do get the ball in the final third.
