NextGOAL tip: De Graafschap +0.5 · 3 stars
FC Volendam and De Graafschap meet in clearly different conditions. The hosts have just lost 3-5 in the cup, after thrashing their league opponents 6-2 before that, while the visitors have just lost 0-1 in the cup and have not won in 3 straight league games. FC Volendam have scored plenty all season, scoring 29 and conceding 20 in 12 matches, but their defence also leaves gaps for opponents throughout, especially late in games when they concede often. As for De Graafschap, this season they have scored 15 and conceded 26 in 12 matches, their defence is leaky enough, but they have scored and drawn in many games, so they are not a team that will just sit and wait. This game should be open and end-to-end from the start, because both sides have defences that are hard to trust. The hosts will have to be the ones pushing forward, while De Graafschap will likely wait for counter-attacking moments and use the advantage of the hosts liking to push high to find scoring chances.
