Scrambling FC Dordrecht will hope to pull off a surprise win when they greet high-flying FC Volendam in the upcoming league fixture. It’s 17th vs 2nd and the home supporters will have modest confidence.

Insights:
  • FC Dordrecht have the most conceded goals (74) in Eerste Divisie
  • FC Volendam have the most scored goals in the first half (42) in Eerste Divisie

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting FC Volendam have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 6-5-4 (win-draw-loss) from 15 matches.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

FC Dordrecht form and stats

The total Eerste Divisie stats at home this season for FC Dordrecht are 5-6-7 (wins-draws-losses). Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Dordrecht, their manager Santoni and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

A strong away win for FC Dordrecht against NAC Breda the last match, as Tremour and Suray were on target. The victory against NAC Breda came after Tremour's winning goal. The FC Dordrecht manager Santoni was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 85th minute. The attacking player Suray was named "man of the match" for Dordrecht with the rating of 7.55/10. Suray scored one goal and hit one key pass.

Before that game, the home loss against FC Emmen with the scoreline 0-1.

The home team are doomed in this game if you believe the odds offered on FC Volendam to win. Let's see if FC Dordrecht are capable of creating a surprise here by looking at their earlier home games as massive outsiders: ten games found revealing zero FC Dordrecht wins, three draws and seven defeats.

Dordrecht are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 25 goals in 18 games.

There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
