Match Preview
FC Volendam welcomes AZ to the Kras Stadion on Sunday, 17 August, for an Eredivisie clash that sees the hosts struggling for form. With just two points from their last five matches, Volendam's recent performances have been disappointing, marked by a series of draws and losses. In contrast, AZ has been in impressive form, winning four of their last five fixtures, showcasing their attacking prowess and solid defensive structure.
A key angle to consider is the historical head-to-head record, where AZ has the upper hand with four wins in the last ten encounters. Additionally, six of those matches have seen over 2.5 goals, indicating a tendency for high-scoring affairs. Given Volendam's need to secure points at home and AZ's current momentum, this match could see both teams finding the net, making the "BTTS Yes" market at odds of 1.53 an appealing option. With AZ's strong away form, they are favoured to take the three points, but Volendam could pose a threat if they can convert their chances.
