FC Volendam - SC Heerenveen betting tips and odds

FC Volendam have their work cut out for them if they want to beat SC Heerenveen. They are widely considered to be the weaker team – though the difference is not huge, to be fair. Overall, it’s shaping up to be an exciting showdown.

Though it won’t be the easiest match of their careers, SC Heerenveen should be able to pull ahead for a victory. Most online bookmakers are pricing an away win at 2.20, which gives us confidence it’s the most likely outcome.

The hosts returned from their most recent Eredivisie trip with a point in their bag. Based on the betting odds available, it was always going to be a tight game and FC Volendam can be satisfied with the fact they held level both at the halftime mark and after the full-time whistle.

SC Heerenveen held up quite well in their previous match against Go Ahead Eagles, given the circumstances. They were visitors against a comparatively stronger opponent, yet they prevented Go Ahead Eagles from pulling ahead for 90 minutes, resulting in a 1:1 draw.

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

The away team’s previous three away games left a lot to be desired when it comes to how they perform defensively. Over 5 conceded goals in just 3 matches is never a good look, even if you’re playing as visitors.

If you’re hunting for betting value, a Draw bet is by far your best option. Success is definitely not guaranteed, but the 3.75 odds provide a decent enough return to make the risk worth it.
