FC Volendam - Excelsior predictions

With the odds slightly in the hosts’ favour, they have a decent shot at walking away with 3 points. Still, Excelsior can pull off both a win or a draw, so the hosts can’t afford to let their guard down.

The task ahead is well-known to the visiting team. Defeating FC Volendam on their own field would be a major accomplishment, and doing so is always challenging.

The last round brought a very good result overall for FC Volendam. They took a difficult Eredivisie trip and managed to go against all odds in order to record an important Go Ahead Eagles away draw.

Excelsior lost their previous Eredivisie to a 0:1 result, which was more or less expected given the 2.69 odds most bookies gave them to win. The match was still undecided at the 45-minute mark, but the second half resulted in a close away win.

FC Volendam have been showing a rather mediocre form lately with 3 consecutive draws.

The visitors’ main concern will be cutting down the concession rate. They conceded more than 5 times in their latest 3 matches, and bucking the trend will be a great step in the right direction.

FC Volendam are currently 12th on the Eredivisie table, which is uncomfortably close to the relegation zone. Although the match this Saturday will not be easy, there’s plenty of room to make changes in the future.

Though it won’t be easy, earning 3 points at FC Volendam will be a great step towards a more successful season for Excelsior. They are currently number 16th on the table after earning a total of $POINTs points in the first few rounds.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Saturday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

An Over 3.5 Goals bet is easily the smartest choice for this fixture, consider in the teams’ respective histories. It’s a considerably more probable outcome than it seems, so the 1 odds are great value.
