Volendam II form and stats

5 victories, 2 draws and 6 defeats. That’s what Volendam II have to build on here at Kras Stadion in the Tweede Divisie. The Volendam II manager Musampa might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

It's back home for Volendam, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Kozakken Boys away with the result 5-3. Blommestijn (2), Zeefuik and Wouter (2) found the net in that victory. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? Blommestijn has beaten the opponent goalkeeper in three games in a row. Skilful!

Before that game, the home loss against HHC with the scoreline 3-4.

This is expected to be a close game, with Volendam II perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Volendam II as a small favourite), we find four games. Volendam II has won one of these, drawn two and lost one.

A decent goal production from Volendam in their home games so far, with 22 goals from 13 league matches. Volendam II have conceded 22 from these games.

Spakenburg form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Spakenburg so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 2-4-8 (win-draw-lose). With two straight losses from their last two away games, Spakenburg are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

The followers enjoyed Spakenburg's previous match versus De Treffers (placed 13th), a 5-2 win played at home. A bonkers match with plenty of goals last time out for Spakenburg, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that entertaining match, will this game be as gleeful? It's hard not to mention der Linden's lethal finishing against De Treffers. four goals were a big reason for the important victory.

That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus ASWH.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Spakenburg playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were two Spakenburg wins, two draws and one defeat.

The travelling fans enjoy Spakenburg's attacking play in away games, having scored 23 goals in 14 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Spakenburg have conceded 33 goals in these games.
