FC Volendam vs Heerenveen prediction: NETHERLANDS: Eredivisie betting tips on match 2022-10-22 18:00.
Concluding Sunday's program, FC Volendam will take on FC Twente at the unusual time of 8:00pm local time. The bottom-placed side is looking with increasing desperation for success at home, as their last positive result dates back to August 28 when FC Twente was beaten 1-0. In the meantime, Wim Jonk's team has managed to draw twice as well as twice outside their own stadium.
If we take a closer look at the home games, we see a goal-rich defeat against Go Ahead Eagles (2-3) and a combative loss with many goals against Ajax (2-4) in the meantime. Furthermore, Volendam had to 'travel' no less than six times. The side from the fishing village still has some home games left until the winter break. In the KNVB Cup, FC Volendam did what was expected of it and defeated the amateurs of Harkemase Boys 5-1.
Opponent SC Heerenveen, after a strong league start, has not performed consistently at all across the past two months. Only one of their last seven competitive clashes was won within ninety minutes – their home victory over FC Twente in the middle of last month. Since then, Heerenveen played out a draw at FC Emmen and Go Ahead Eagles and lost at home to PSV.
Last Tuesday night, coach Kees van Wonderen's team worked overtime in Zeeland. The bus trip home of over four hours had to be postponed following a 2-2 score after ninety minutes. It required extra time but they got the desired result eventually, finishing 2-4. So far this season, Heerenveen took eight points at home and six outside its own Abe Lenstra Stadium. It has the equal-second least penetrable defense after FC Twente as of the start of the round, conceding just nine Eredivisie goals overall.
Players to watch: Striker Ibrahim El Kadiri made an important contribution to FC Volendam's KNVB Cup victory over Harkemase Boys with his two goals. In the league, he is still without a single goal after nine appearances. For Heerenveen, Rami Al Hajj was the star of the show in Hoek, scoring three of the four goals for his team. He has not yet scored from three Eredivisie substitute appearances this season.
Hot stat: FC Volendam last won at home against SC Heerenveen on May 3, 1998. Since then, the Frisians won twice in the Eredivisie and once in the KNVB Cup.
