Jong AZ and Emmen meet in the First Division, and their head-to-head record leaves no doubt about the high-scoring nature of their encounters. In their last five head-to-head matches, the total has consistently exceeded 2.5 goals, with goals exchanged in five of those five. It's rare for the teams to leave the field empty-handed when playing each other.
The hosts have scored in three of their last five matches, conceding in four. Emmen hasn't scored much in recent games, but they've also been defensively inconsistent, despite Jong AZ having the weakest defense in the league. The visitors are 13th, while Jong AZ is 17th, and both teams need points, which adds to their motivation.
Given their history, current form, and league standings, the likelihood of an open game is high.
