FC Emmen vs Cambuur prediction 24.03.2026 | Eerste Division

FC Emmen enter this round in inconsistent form, currently positioned in the lower half of the table. In their last three matches, Menno van Dam’s men have recorded one win, one draw, and one defeat, underlining their lack of stability and consistency week in and week out in the Eerste Divisie.

At home, Emmen perform slightly better, averaging over two goals scored per match and maintaining a higher points-per-game ratio, which suggests they remain competitive at De Oude Meerdijk. 

Their entire forward line has been heavily reliant on Romano Postema, who has netted 19 goals in 28 league appearances.

Cambuur arrive in far stronger form, sitting near the top of the standings with a high probability of returning to the Eredivisie after a three-year absence. Their recent form has been excellent, with six wins in their last eight league matches before succumbing to a high-scoring 4-3 defeat against Jong AZ over the weekend.

Cambuur’s away record is particularly impressive, with nearly two points per game and a solid scoring average of 1.9 goals on the road. Recent form has been excellent, with four wins in their last five matches and multiple clean sheets, demonstrating improved defensive organisation and tactical discipline. 

Unlike FC Emmen, Cambuur have three or four regular goalscorers across the team, providing multiple attacking outlets and avoiding reliance on a single player to deliver in front of goal. Oscar Sjöstrand has scored 10 goals, Ichem Ferrah has 9, and Jort van der Sande has found the net 8 times in the Eerste Divisie this season.
