FC Volendam come into this one without a win in four league matches, and their home numbers are respectable but not especially secure, with 23 goals scored and 19 conceded in 14 at home. That profile leaves enough room for both sides to find chances, especially against a Feyenoord team that have scored 26 and conceded 19 in 13 away league games.
Feyenoord’s recent away pattern also leans toward goals at both ends rather than control without risk. Their last six league matches include four games in which both teams scored, and they have gone five straight without keeping a clean sheet. Even in the 1-1 draw with Ajax on 22 March, Feyenoord allowed only a small xGA of 0.2, but they still failed to shut the game down.
Volendam have been involved in some lively scorelines at home, including a 3-2 win over FC Groningen and a 1-2 defeat to Fortuna Sittard, while Feyenoord’s away games have recently produced a 3-3 draw at NAC Breda and a 2-0 loss at FC Twente. The xG projection of 1.2 for Volendam and 1.9 for Feyenoord points to chances at both ends, although the away side’s stronger level does leave a small tension with a simple goals-only reading.
My prediction is Both Teams To Score at 57/100. Feyenoord have seen both teams score in four of their last five league matches, they have not kept a clean sheet in five straight, and Volendam have scored in enough home games to threaten here even while sitting 14th. The head-to-head also supports this, with three of the last five meetings producing goals for both sides.
Feyenoord’s edge in the table and their 6-3-4 away record make them the likelier side to land the decisive goal, but the safer bet is to focus on both attacks rather than a clean sheet. A 1-2 type of game fits the recent scoring patterns and still leaves room for Volendam to get on the board.
