Vitesse's form is more even but their away results stand out. Of their three Eerste Divisie away games, they've won two and lost one, scoring seven and conceding just three. Their home form has been up and down, with two wins, a loss and a draw.

Volendam's home form and Vitesse's away form are pulling in opposite directions, which makes this a tricky one to read.

Comparative Team Statistics: FC Volendam vs Vitesse

A history that's gone both ways

These two have met seven times across the last few seasons, spanning Eredivisie and Eerste Divisie football. Volendam have won three of those, Vitesse two, with two draws.

The most recent meeting came in January 2025, when Volendam thumped Vitesse 4-0 at home. Before that, Volendam also won 2-1 away at Vitesse. It's worth remembering these games span different squads and seasons, so it's more context than a guide to Sunday's outcome.

Where they sit after seven games

Vitesse are 5th with 13 points from seven matches, four wins, a draw and two defeats. Volendam are down in 13th on nine points, having won three and lost four.

The gap isn't huge in games played, but Vitesse's extra six points show a team getting more from similar fixtures. Their goal difference is better too, plus four compared to Volendam's plus three.

Vitesse go into this with the stronger league position, though it's still early days in the campaign.

The players doing the damage

Volendam's H. Veerman has been their main source of goals, with eight in seven appearances, while N. Doodeman has chipped in five assists from the same run of games. For Vitesse, N. Bannis has matched Veerman for output relative to games, scoring seven times in seven and adding three assists himself.

FC Volendam:

Vitesse:

Best scorers:

N. Bannis - 7

Best assist providers:

N. Bannis - 3

Penalty cards:

C. van den Berg x 1

C. Olde Keizer x 3

On the disciplinary side, Vitesse's C. Olde Keizer has picked up three yellow cards in seven games, and C. van den Berg has already seen red once in five appearances. There's no confirmed injury news for either side at this stage.

Both sides have a clear focal point in attack, so whoever nullifies the other's main scorer could hold an edge.

How this one could play out

Given Volendam's habit of scoring freely at home and Vitesse's tendency to find the net on the road, goals feel like a reasonable expectation here. Volendam have scored 17 in seven league games, Vitesse have shipped just nine, so neither side is shutting up shop.

If Volendam's home form holds, they'll fancy troubling a Vitesse defence that's been tighter than usual. But Vitesse's away record suggests they won't just sit back and admire the view.
