FC Twente - FC Volendam predictions

This match itself isn’t likely to be much of a contest. The hosts are an overwhelmingly stronger team, and most bookmakers and experts agree that FC Volendam don’t stand much of a chance.

This one has Home Win written all over it. The hosts are expected to grab a firm hold of the proceedings and FC Volendam will be left with slim pickings in this match.

No one expected FC Twente to win the previous round at AZ Alkmaar – they were the visiting team in a highly disfavourable matchup. Even though they somehow managed to end the first half with a lead, their opponents went home with 3 points after a narrow 2:1 win.

FC Volendam lost their previous home game against Ajax with a considerably high 1:4 margin. Considering the overwhelming betting odds they were up against, though, the fact that they spent most of the match on the back foot is not too surprising.

FC Twente can’t seem to maintain a proper defence whenever they play as visitors. With 7 concessions over the past three away games, it’s obvious some tweaks need to be made in defence.

Given 9 goals conceded in their own net over the past 3 matches, FC Volendam's defensive line is much to be desired.

Looking at the previous time these squads clashed in this season, it’s no surprise that FC Twente are the favourites. They managed to grab a narrow win playing as visitors, and it’s quite reasonable to expect them to do the same as the hosts.

A string of injuries put a large chunk of the visitors’ lineup out of contention. They’ll have to make do without Bilal Ould-Chikh, Joey Antonioli, Xavier Mbuyamba, Robert Muhren, Garang Kuol, Robin Maulun. Given that they were already underdogs anyhow, this puts them at a severely disadvantaged position.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.25 if you use the Betway sportsbook.
