3-0, 4-0 or 5-0. If you ask the fans of FC Emmen, Almere City has no chance this afternoon and FC Emmen will remain in the premier league.
“I said 4-0 in my area. That is easy to say with red and white glasses,” says a fan before the game. “The heat is our advantage,” he says. “Almere City has had a longer season.” Someone else predicts 5-0. “And if it becomes 4-0, I have no problem with that either.”
And other fans also expect a handful of goals from FC Emmen. The football team plays at home against Almere City today. The stake is a place in the Premier League. Earlier this week, FC Emmen lost 2-0 to Almere City. The team from Emmen must therefore win with at least three goals difference to remain in the premier league. If not, the team is relegated to the first division.
Not a fan who gets it into his head to take that scenario. “Of course I’m confident: it will be 3-0,” says another fan who is already anticipating things. He is wearing an FC Emmen shirt with the text eredivisie 2023-2024 on it. And about the first game, he says: “Mistake, can happen.” Someone else calls it a “day-off”.
