Jong AZ (home)
- Jong AZ sit 11th on nine points from seven Eerste Divisie 2026/2027 matches.
- Jong AZ won 2 and lost 3 of their last 5 Eerste Divisie 2026/2027 games.
- Jong AZ won just 1 of 3 home Eerste Divisie 2026/2027 fixtures.
- Jong AZ, coached by Frank Peereboom, set up to be compact and keep the ball for long periods, but they have plenty of bite in them too, as FC Volendam discovered.
Volendam (away)
- Volendam are in 10th on nine from six.
- FC Volendam won 3 and lost 2 of their last 5 Eerste Divisie 2026/2027 matches.
- Oranjehemden, under Erwin van de Looi, are playing with a little more directness this term, setting up to attack quickly on the break and get plenty of numbers forward on the fast breaks they create.
Recent meetings
- But the visitors have the psychological edge as they have won the last 2 meetings between the clubs, including a 1-0 win in Alkmaar in Eerste Divisie 2024/2025.
- But the home side failed to win their last home game against the visitors and, although they haven't won on the road in the 2026/2027 season, Volendam seem to have a little more to get their teeth into in this matchup.
In-form attackers
- Ayoub Oufkir has been the danger man for the hosts with 3 goals in 3 Eerste Divisie 2026/2027 assignments, but Volendam's sharp shooter is Henk Veerman, who has already banged in 7 goals in 5 matches, 6 of which came in the club's last 14 goals.
- Nick Doodeman, who has 5 assists in 5 Eerste Divisie 2026/2027 league games, is the playmaker setting them up.
Style & chances
The matchup of styles should see plenty of space open up and Volendam's superior finishers should get a few chances to kill off a game Jong AZ will hope to rotate the ball out of their box.
Prediction
Volendam will win this game if they can keep their discipline and take their chances, so we will take them to nick it on the road at a price that is far too big for a side that has beaten the reserve team.
