FC Zwolle

vs

FC Volendam

Preview

Zwolle

• Zwolle have won six of their ten Eredivisie home games, Volendam have yet to win on the road after ten.
• The hosts will feel confident going into Saturday’s clash as they have won their last two home games and bounced back impressively from a 2-1 away loss to NEC Nijmegen by thrashing Telstar 4-1 three days ago.

Volendam

• Volendam have won just one of their last three Eredivisie away games and have been struggling on the road all season.
• Volendam are 15th in the Dutch top-flight after taking just 18 points from their opening 21 games, putting them near the relegation zone.
• Volendam have looked better recently, winning two, drawing one and losing two of their last five, but they will have a hard time going into this game against a Zwolle side that have been in good form at home.

Head-to-Head

• In their recent head-to-head, Volendam edged Zwolle 2-1 four months ago, and Zwolle has not beaten Volendam at home in recent encounters.
• This tactical clash will be a test for both managers, who will be looking to have their own style of play dominate proceedings.
