FC Volendam form and stats

A job perfectly done for FC Volendam last season as they secured promotion from Eerste Divisie. With a grand total of 21 wins, 12 draws and 5 defeats the season objective was secured. Of these wins, 8 were in away matches.

Volendam are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats. From a total of 6 matches.

It's a day of discovery for FC Volendam as they finally learn what impact all the hours of pre-season training, along with the changes in personnel, have had on their performance in an official game. It's never easy knowing what to expect based on friendly games, of which FC Volendam have played four with the results W1-D1-L2 (win-draw-lost). In these games FC Volendam has scored 5 goals and conceded 6 times.

Head 2 Head

As for the last six games between these two teams, there's six FC Groningen victories, zero draws and zero FC Volendam wins. Over/under statistics; four of these games ended with three goals or more, two matches with two goals or less.
