RKAV Volendam form and stats

RKAV Volendam have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the Derde Divisie: Zaterdag. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.

Volendam lost their last game at DVS '33 (placed 5th) after a 2-3 scoreline. A disaster for the home team in their last match (vs DVS '33) as a comfortable lead 2-0 was completely ruined into a loss 2-3.

Ahead of that match, RKAV Volendam won a home game hosting Urk (4-1).

Goals from both sides! That has happened in 8 league games in a row for this club. Could it happen again?

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Rijnvogels are coming to town in four days.

RKAV Volendam are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (8 goals in 3 games). RKAV Volendam have conceded 5 from these games.

Harkemase Boys form and stats

As the visiting team in Derde Divisie: Zaterdag matches, Harkemase Boys have produced an overall stat of 2-0-2 so far.

There might be some fixture complaints from Harkemase as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous game, 3-4 against Rijnvogels. That defeat was their first after four consecutive league fixtures winning points. A huge disappointment for Harkemase Boys in their last match (vs Rijnvogels). Leading 3-1 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all was lost in a 3-4 defeat. Late heartbreak for Harkemase Boys in the Rijnvogels match, as the deciding 3-4 goal came deep into overtime.

Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs DVS '33.

A new game in only four days for Harkemase Boys, the Derde Divisie: Zaterdag home match versus Barendrecht. Busy days.

In the opposite end, Harkemase have conceded 7 goals in their away games.
