Before that game, the home loss against FC Eindhoven with the scoreline 0-6.

FC Volendam form and stats

FC Volendam have an excellent away record in the Eerste Divisie so far with 4-3-0 from 7 games. Things are running smoothly for FC Volendam who hasn't tasted defeat in their last 13 matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against ADO Den Haag.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Jong Ajax (placed 6th) in their previous outing. The Eerste Divisie match ended in a draw 4-4. Volendam's last match (vs Jong Ajax) ended in drama as all points looked lost at the score 0-2. They did not give up, fought back and in the end a courageous finish rescued a draw after 90 minutes thanks to a 90th minute equalizer by Denso Kasius. A mental match with an abundance of goals last time out for Volendam, as mentioned above. 8 goals in that fixture, will this game be as gleeful?

Midfield player Boy Deul was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.91/10. Deul hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 4 of 4 times and had 44 successful passes (of 52 total).
