Emmen and NAC Breda will meet in the semi-final match of the Eredivisie playoffs. Who will reach the final?
"Emmen"
Emmen were close to directly remaining in the Eredivisie, but the goal difference was worse than that of 15th-placed Waalwijk, who also scored 30 points. In the last two rounds, Emmen managed to score six points: they beat Heerenveen 3-1 and defeated Venlo 4-0.
