FC Volendam host VVV-Venlo in the Eerste Divisie, with the home side sitting 13th on 9 points from 7 matches, while the visitors are 3rd with 15 points from the same number of games. The two teams need points from this game in different ways: the hosts want to climb out of mid-table, while the visitors want to stay in the top group for as long as possible. FC Volendam lost 1-4 in their last match, and their defence has clearly been a problem recently, but their attack still scores consistently, especially at home where the first half usually has goals. VVV-Venlo, meanwhile, are on a winning run and have scored heavily in several recent matches, even though they lost 2-4 in the one game that slipped away. According to the expected line-ups, the hosts are likely to line up 4-2-3-1 with Henk Veerman as the main striker and Daan Huisman pulling the strings in the middle. This game should be open from the start, because both teams tend to score and concede in equal measure. VVV-Venlo are very dangerous with their late chances, but the hosts are at home and have attackers ready to use. If FC Volendam can control the tempo and not let the visitors have space to run into, the game should flow in the hosts' favour. The first thing to watch after kick-off is how the hosts set up defensively in the first half.
