Feyenoord vs FC Volendam prediction: NETHERLANDS: Eredivisie betting tips on match 2023-12-07 20:00.
Feyenoord Rotterdam will be glad to move on after dealing with two heavy blows last week. Their 3-1 defeat to Atlético Madrid killed any hopes of advancing further in the UEFA Champions League (UCL). On Sunday, Arne Slot’s team had the opportunity to reduce the gap to league leaders PSV, but the Eindhoven team was too strong (L 2-1), so the deficit is now ten points. But with second place in the Eredivisie season now being accompanied by a UCL group stage place, Feyenoord are still in an enviable position.
There’s also plenty of honour and money to be won in the UEFA Europa League as well, and Feyenoord have many reasons to still feel confident about their campaign. Quinten Timber has discovered his niche in midfield this season, whilst Santiago Giménez cannot be stopped after adding another four goals in his last two appearances. Additionally, young talent such as Antoni Milambo (who recorded his first assist in professional football last Sunday) are asserting themselves.
An entire book could be written about FC Volendam’s previous fortnight. Many former colleagues will reportedly now no longer look one another in the eye, and if things weren’t already bad enough, things are terrible on the pitch also. Volendam are equal on points with last-placed Vitesse, with a goal difference superiority of just one goal. If they lose in this Thursday evening fixture, they will drop to the bottom of the standings. It is now up to former Dutch centre-back Michael Dingsdag to take care of the side at least until the winter break after the departure of manager Matthias Kohler.
Volendam has conceded 15 goals in their last four league games alone and is the worst performing defence in the Eredivisie with a total of 36 goals against. The Other Oranje won their first away match of this calendar year 3-0 against SC Cambuur, but to this day it is still the only victory the team has recorded on foreign soil this year. In the 18 away games that were scheduled since then, Volendam managed to avoid defeat three times.
Players to watch: Santiago Giménez has already scored five times this Eredivisie, whilst Robert Mühren has already scored as many goals (five) this season as he did in the previous one!
Hot stat: Volendam conceded 2+ goals in each of their last ten Eredivisie away games.
