FC Volendam, Recent FormFC Volendam will have been quite satisfied taking a point from their last match against PEC Zwolle, which ran out a 1-1 draw. They came away from that fixture with 34% of the possession and clocked up 10 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, PEC Zwolle managed 23 attempts on goal, with 10 on target.
They have bagged 7 goals in their last 6 matches but haven't taken the points they might have hoped for, primarily due to some indecisive defending that has seen their goal breached 20 times in that period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 18 games.
Serious concerns will be mounting for Het Andere Oranje, having gone without a home league win in their last 7 games and losing the last 7 games in a row at Kras Stadion.
AZ, Recent FormIn their last match AZ enforced their superiority over Excelsior with a 4-0 home win. In that game they recorded 58 % of the possession, with 16 attempts on goal, 10 on target. Their opponents found the target on 0 of their 4 shots on goal.
They have amassed a limited number of points from their last 6 matches, despite only letting in 3 goals; this has been primarily due to their indifferent form in front of goal with 9 goals spread across those 6 matches. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 away games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games.
On an individual basis, Vangelis Pavlidis will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 22 goals in AZ's 25 league games this season.
The last time these two teams met AZ enforced their superiority over FC Volendam with a comfortable 3-0 win.
Kaaskoppen will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Volendam having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 7 meetings. Playing away from home, AZ have kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 3 league games against Volendam. In their past 5 meetings, AZ's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Het Andere Oranje will have to take their chances when they come. We've seen plenty of goals from AZ when they've visited Het Andere Oranje in the league, in their last 3 games they've scored a total of 9 goals, which is an average of 3 per game.
AZ have certainly shown themselves to be resilient opponents against Volendam in the league, having gone unbeaten against them in their last 7 meetings.
Volendam manager Regillio Simons has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Joey Antonioli (Unknown), Diego Gustavo (Unknown), Luke Le Roux (Unknown), Xavier Mbuyamba (Unknown), Vivaldo Semedo (Thigh) and Calvin Twigt (Foot) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Mayckel Lahdo (Unknown) and Sem Westerveld (Meniscus) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Maarten Martens will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
