Volendam II form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Tweede Divisie this season. Volendam II have only managed 2 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses from their games here at Kras Stadion. Three consecutive losses here at Kras Stadion is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.

The Volendam II supporters got no joy from their last match, also played here at Kras Stadion: A 2-6 defeat against HHC (placed 2nd). As you see from the result above, Volendam suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

Prior to that, an away loss at Rijnsburgse Boys.

The Volendam II fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 9 matches. When Volendam hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Koninklijke HFC, TEC, Scheveningen, OFC Oostzaan and IJsselmeervogels), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 2 of 2 times.
