FC Volendam vs Jong Ajax tips and predictions

Resolve likely difference for Jong Ajax

With the gulf in class between the sides, the hosts are expected to get through this. But perhaps this will not be as cut-and-dried as it seems. Jong Ajax can edge this clash but tread carefully with this assessment.

Following some abject outings, the hosts will be eager to impress. FC Volendam are like a box of chocolates at the moment. You never know what you're going to get. They've lost 6 of their last 11 games as hosts. Their tactics in the final third haven't helped their recent goal count. They've been goalless in 4 of their last 11 matches on their own patch and that isn't good enough, even if there are injury issues at the other end of the park. Occasional lapses in concentration have cost them. Conceding an average of 2.0 goals from their latest 10 matches on their own patch has shown how they can be punished when they've lost their shape.

Jong Ajax have come up with plenty of good numbers. Their best stuff has been summarised by their confident play in the final third. They've scored two or more goals in 9 of their last 16 away fixtures. If the hosts show any signs of nerves the visitors will be confident of success here. If the visitors put some decent passages together they should be the ones left smiling at full-time. They have conceded no more than once in 7 of their last 8 matches.

Apart from the match winner market, the BTTS No is the best value from those options.
