FC Volendam suffered an unpredictable defeat 2-3 against PSV in their previous game, also played at home. Midfield player Eiting got a match rating of 8.35 in that game, the max score being 10. Eiting served one assist and hit six key passes.

SC Cambuur form and stats

There's been little loot from SC Cambuur's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 14 away games in the Eredivisie. SC Cambuur only have 2 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 4 draws. Bitter travels for Cambuur as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the NEC match.

Paulissen was the last player to score for the away team. SC Cambuur haven't scored a league goal in the last 202 minutes.

SC Cambuur might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Feyenoord proved too strong as SC Cambuur slumped to a 0-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Cambuurstadion. Cambuur goalkeeper Ruiter took pride in a magnificent shift vs Feyenoord, but despite making six saves the defeat could not be avoided.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against FC Twente wasn't a success with a 0-4 loss.

SC Cambuur are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 3 draws and 1 defeat. From a total of 5 matches.

Goal-happy betting people should observe that 10 of this team's 11 latest league fixtures have ended with three or more goals.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Cambuur as they have only managed to score 11 times from 14 away games in the league.
