FC Volendam - Heracles predictions

FC Volendam are easily the favourites in the match this Saturday, but we wouldn’t call a Home Win bet at the odds of 2.20 safe, exactly. They are more likely to win than not, but Heracles may have a few tricks up their sleeve yet.

The visiting team knows that beating FC Volendam on their own turf will be a major accomplishment, and it is always a formidable challenge.

Considering the 7.79 betting odds on an away win against FC Utrecht in the last round, FC Volendam’s lead in the first half was quite surprising. The 3:1 at the end was not, though. Still, it’s hard to judge their form based on such an unbalanced matchup.

Heracles played against Feyenoord last round, so it’s hard to be surprised by the harsh 0:7 home loss. The 1.33 betting odds are a good indication of just how one-sided such a matchup is.

The home team’s tendency to see their defence crumble under the pressure of away games is worrying – they conceded more than 5 times over the previous 3 away games. The fact that they’re at Kras Stadion this Saturday makes things easier for them, but not by a lot.

Heracles’s recent track record shows a very concerning amount of concessions – 9 of them in their previous 3 matches, to be exact. While it’s obvious their defence has a lot of problems, Over markets might be a good option for this match.

Getting a win here will not be easy for the hosts, but they’ll want it to get out of the relegation zone. There’s plenty of time left in the season, but the sooner they start moving up in the standings, the better for their final result.

This Saturday, both teams will have a full roster available to them, thanks to the absence of injuries or suspensions.

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 if you use the 1xbet sportsbook.
