Utrecht are probably just about still in with a chance of finishing in the play-off spots with eight points between them and Waalwijk ahead of kick-off - with Utrecht critically having a game in hand, or two, on the other sides vying for a play-off spot.
Victory here for Utrecht would move them to within five points of the play-off spots, so they have plenty of motivation to push for a few goals - but their recent form means that this is unlikely to be a straightforward task. Utrecht have failed to win any of their last five matches across all competitions, seeing BTTS in four of those games.
The good news for Utrecht is that they face an Emmen side who have been just as poor across recent weeks, also failing to win any of their last five matches across all competitions and seeing BTTS in two of those games. Emmen have seen 50 goals across their 13 home games in the Eerste Divisie this term (3.84 per game) and managed to come away 2-1 winners when the sides met earlier in the season.
