Volendam's record reads very differently. Three wins and four losses, with no draws at all, suggests their games tend to be decided one way or the other rather than settling into stalemates.

Volendam's total lack of draws points to a team that's either scoring freely or getting beaten, with little middle ground.

Comparative Team Statistics: Waalwijk vs FC Volendam

Head-to-head: mostly from a different level

These two met in a preseason friendly back in July, which finished 2-2. Before that, their meetings go back to Eredivisie fixtures in 2023 and 2024, when both clubs were playing in the top flight.

That top-flight history doesn't tell us much about how either side sits right now in the Eerste Divisie.

League table tells a clear story

Waalwijk sit fourth with 13 points from seven games. Volendam are down in 13th with nine points from the same number of matches. That's already a six point gap this early in the season.

Waalwijk have conceded nine goals in those seven games. Volendam have let in 14, despite playing the same number of matches.

Volendam are already leaking goals at a much higher rate than Waalwijk, even at this early stage.

Key contributors

Volendam's attack runs heavily through H. Veerman, who has eight goals in seven matches this season, by far their most productive player. N. Doodeman has chipped in five assists alongside him.

Waalwijk's creative work looks more evenly spread. Juan Carlos Familia-Castillo and J. Nap have three assists each, rather than the team leaning on one obvious outlet.

If Waalwijk manage to keep Veerman quiet, Volendam don't have an obvious second source of goals to fall back on.

How this could play out

Waalwijk's defence has been tight all season, conceding just nine in seven games, and their unbeaten run has come with plenty of draws mixed in among the wins. That points to a side capable of grinding out tough, low-scoring contests at home.

Volendam have been leakier at the back but still have Veerman's scoring form to lean on. If he gets a sniff, Volendam can trouble anyone, but their away form this season has been far less reliable than Waalwijk's home form.
