FC Den Bosch form and stats

A strong away win for FC Den Bosch against Jong Ajax the last match, as Jizz Hornkamp and Roy Kuijpers were on target. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting NEC (1-4).

Wouter Van der Steen loved the game against Jong Ajax. With a stunning six saves the goalkeeper played a huge part in the 2-1 victory. Manager J. de Gier felt very clever after Roy Kuijpers scored the winning goal against Jong Ajax, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 35th minute.

FC Volendam form and stats

FC Volendam have an excellent away record in the Eerste Divisie so far with 7-5-1 from 13 games.

FC Volendam might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Roda JC Kerkrade proved too strong as FC Volendam slumped to a 3-4 defeat in front of their own fans at Kras Stadion. Prior to that result Volendam won their away game at Almere City. The scoreline was 2-1.

A huge disappointment for Volendam in their last match (vs Roda JC Kerkrade). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all was lost in a 3-4 defeat. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Volendam, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?

The schedule is very tough for FC Volendam now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Eerste Divisie game at NEC is waiting in only three days.

The Volendam manager W. Jonk has got the team scoring on the road, with 26 away goals in 13 league matches. 16 goals have been conceded by FC Volendam in these games.
