Emmen will welcome reigning champions Ajax to De Oude Meerdijk in Eredivisie action on Saturday.
Games had been coming in thick and fast for the visitors and this will be their fourth game of the month. Ajax gave away pole position in the league table as they are winless in their last two league games.
In a top-of-the-table clash against PSV, they fell to a 2-1 defeat at home last Sunday. They failed to return to winning ways as they played out a 2-2 draw at home against Vitesse on Wednesday. Dusan Tadic and Lorenzo Lucca scored in either half while Million Manhoef bagged a brace for Vitesse.
Emmen picked up their first league win since August last time around as Richairo Živković scored the winning goal in the 58th minute. They are undefeated in their last two games, keeping a clean sheet in both.
There are no Eredivisie games until the new year, so both teams will be looking to pick up a win in this match.
