Almere City
- Almere City have won two and lost one of their three Eerste Divisie 2026/2027 home games, conceding just twice.
- Almere are in good nick with three wins and two defeats from their last five matches in all competitions, although the 4-1 loss at Jong AZ Alkmaar was followed by a 3-2 win at home to VVV-Venlo.
- He has installed an aggressive, counter-pressing style that sets the team up in a 4-3-3, which transitions quickly and attacks the wide areas.
FC Volendam
- Volendam are still seeking their first away win in Eerste Divisie 2026/2027 (12 points, L4, G13).
- FC Volendam have a similarly clear identity under Erwin van de Looi, who has been in charge since 1 July 2026 and gets his compact, shape-shifting team to use quick, vertical counters to great effect.
- Volendam's problem in this match-up will be to avoid getting caught out by the home side's energetic front-foot play in a classic press-versus-shape battle.
Key Players
- Henk Veerman is the danger man for Volendam with eight goals in seven Eerste Divisie 2026/2027 matches, including six in the last five games in which they have scored 12.
- Ferdy Druijf is in a similar vein for Almere with six goals in six Eerste Divisie 2026/2027 games and it is the home team that will have the momentum going into the game, having won 0-4 at MVV Maastricht and 1-0 at home to Heracles before losing 3-2 at FC Dordrecht last weekend.
Betting Insights
- Despite the odds, Almere City are the favorite for this match-up at 1.95 with Volendam at 3.2 and the draw at 4.0.

Prediction
- Almere City are the team in form going into their Eerste Divisie 2026/2027 match with FC Volendam on Saturday but both clubs have suffered a couple of slip-ups in recent weeks that suggest a draw could be the most likely outcome of the game.
