After the first round it's FC Volendam - NEC 1-0 in points. Who will triumph in this second Eredivisie match of the season?

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting NEC have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 8-3-5 (win-draw-loss) from 16 matches.

FC Volendam and NEC should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

FC Volendam form and stats

In the previous season, FC Volendam's league results were 21 wins, 12 draws and 5 losses, resulting in 2nd spot in the Eerste Divisie. Over these 38 matches they scored 81 goals and let in 53. Playing at their own stadium in the last season FC Volendam produced 13-3-3 (win-draw-lost) with 47 goals and 28 conceded.

Volendam travelled for their previous game, a trip to FC Groningen that ended 2-2. Trouble was brewing at the score 0-2 against FC Groningen last time out, but a goal from Benamar completed a comeback to a draw result for FC Volendam. Murkin was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.81 out of 10. The defender Murkin served one assist, hit one key pass and won 10 of 13 duels.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a Eerste Divisie home game that ended 2-2 versus FC Eindhoven.

NEC form and stats

Let's have a look at how NEC performed last season in the Eredivisie: They landed a 11th position in the league table after playing out 10 victories, 8 draws and 16 defeats. In total they scored 38 and conceded 52 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 7 - drew 3 and lost 7 with 25/30 goals scored/conceded.

NEC are looking to quickly end their 198 minutes long goal drought in the Eredivisie.

This match can not go any worse than the last one, the home defeat versus FC Twente with 0-1 on the scoreboard. NEC were so close to getting something from the game against FC Twente, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal one minutes into overtime. Midfielder Tannane was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.71. Tannane hit four key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

A 0-1 loss hosting Fortuna Sittard before that.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 9 similar matches played by NEC in our archives, and the results are: 8 wins for NEC, 0 draws and 1 defeat.

Head 2 Head
