Volendam's equivalent sample shows just 7 wins in 20, with some heavy defeats mixed in, including a 6-1 loss to Dordrecht and a 4-1 defeat away at Jong AZ. That's not pure league form, since friendlies and last season's games are in there too, but it fits the same story of defensive fragility.

Comparative Team Statistics: Almere City FC vs FC Volendam

History doesn't tell us much new

These two have met plenty of times down the years, going back to 2016, and it's been a fairly even series overall with several draws mixed in among the wins for both sides.

The most recent meeting was a friendly back in July 2026, which Almere won 2-1, but that came before this season started and shouldn't carry much weight now. The last competitive league meetings, in 2024, were tight too, a 1-1 draw and a narrow 0-1 Volendam win.

Head-to-head history looks close, but it's mostly too old or too informal to lean on.

A big gap in the table

Almere City sit second in the Eerste Divisie with 16 points from seven games, built on five wins, a draw and just one defeat. Their goal difference of plus 12 (16 for, 4 against) says a lot about how solid they've been.

Volendam are down in 13th with nine points from the same number of matches. Three wins and four losses, with 17 scored but 14 conceded, points to a team that can score but leaks goals too easily.

On the current league table alone, Almere look the far stronger side.

Key men in form

Volendam's H. Veerman has been the standout individual this season, scoring 8 goals in 7 league appearances, with N. Doodeman chipping in 5 assists. That's a real goal threat despite the team's struggles overall.

Almere's F. Druijf has 6 goals in 6 matches and 3 assists too, while E. Poku adds another 3 goals and 2 assists. Almere's threat looks more spread across two players rather than resting on one man.

Veerman's scoring rate is one reason not to write Volendam off entirely up front.

How it might play out

Almere's defensive record at home this season, just 4 goals conceded in 7 games, suggests Volendam will find chances hard to come by. But Volendam do have Veerman capable of turning half a chance into a goal.

If Almere's attack functions as it has done, with goals shared between Druijf and Poku, they should have enough to trouble a Volendam defence that's conceded 14 times already this season.
