FC Volendam form and stats

FC Volendam have performed here at Kras Stadion this season with 7 wins from 10 Eerste Divisie matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 2 games and lost 1. Volendam has a nice streak going on as they have played 18 consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the ADO Den Haag defeat 148 days ago.

A strong away win for Volendam against Almere City the last match, as Mühren, Kadiri and Ould-Chikh were on target. Manager Jonk felt very clever after Kadiri scored the winning goal against Almere City, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 73rd minute. Ould-Chikh was "man of the match" with a rating of 8.05 out of 10. The defender Ould-Chikh scored one goal, hit one key pass and won 8 of 13 duels.

Before that, FC Volendam had a home game versus Jong PSV which ended with a victory 3-2.

The home team are expected to win this game about three out of four times, according to the bookmaker odds. When checking the database for Volendam home games with this odds we find six games with a similar winning chance. Resulting in three wins, two draws and one defeat. Looking at the victories, three matches were won by at least two goals.

Volendam are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (26 goals in 10 games). On the other hand, Volendam have conceded 14 goals.

Telstar form and stats

3-4-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Telstar in their Eerste Divisie matches away. It's three draws from Telstar's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.

Telstar played 0-0 against Jong PSV in their previous match. Goalkeeper Ouazzane got the top player rating of the team with 8.03/10. Ouazzane stopped the opponent with four saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.

A home win before that, celebrating 5-3 vs Spakenburg (after extra-time).

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Telstar played away with similar odds. This revealed two games. The visitors overcame the odds to win zero times, two were draws and the home team won as expected zero times.

Telstar have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 10 league away games 10 goals have been scored. Telstar have conceded 16 goals in these games.
