Match preview: VOLENDAM vs AZ

Volendam and AZ will face each other at Kras Stadion in a fixture for the 2nd round of the Eredivisie. The record between these two teams leans in favour of the visitors, AZ, who boast 3 wins and 1 draw in their last 4 encounters. The previous meeting, on 17 March 2024, resulted in a convincing 4-0 victory for AZ. This time, the home advantage may play a crucial role, especially considering AZ’s notable disparity in performance at home compared to away games.

Team analysis: VOLENDAM

The home side enters this match after a 1-1 draw against SC Heerenveen in their opener. Volendam tends to maintain a decent performance even when playing away, having achieved 9 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses in their last 30 away matches. At home, they have won 12, drawn 1, and lost 2 from their most recent fixtures. They have secured 7 victories, 1 draw, and 2 losses in their last 10 home games across all competitions. Defensively, the team has struggled, consistently conceding goals in their last 10 matches, yet their attack regularly finds the net, scoring in every one of those games. Home games often see goals, with 19 out of their last 20 matches resulting in over 1.5 goals, and 15 of those ending with more than 2.5 goals.

Following a decent start to their league campaign, Volendam must elevate their performance against a stronger opponent. A cautious approach is likely, focusing on solid defensive work and counter-attacking opportunities. Maintaining defensive concentration and capitalising on limited scoring chances will be essential for a positive outcome in front of their supporters.

Team analysis: AZ

The visitors come into this tie following a strong showing, defeating FC Groningen 4-1 in their first match. AZ tend to thrive with home support, boasting a record of 4 wins, 6 draws, and 5 losses in their last 30 away games, with 28 goals scored and conceded. Conversely, they have performed far better at home with 10 victories, 4 draws, and just 1 defeat, scoring 35 goals and conceding only 11. Their last match, in the Europe Conference League, saw them defeat Vaduz 1-0 away from home. In the last 10 away matches, AZ has won 4, drawn 2, and lost 4. They consistently find the net, scoring in each of their last 10 games, and in away matches, 17 of 25 games ended with more than 2.5 goals on the scoreboard. Remarkably, when conceding first, they have only managed to turn the match around in 1 of 6 instances.

AZ Alkmaar commenced the season with a bang, showcasing their offensive intent from the get-go. With higher intensity due to their involvement in the League Conference, they will enter this match brimming with confidence. Even on the road, they should maintain an attacking philosophy, controlling the midfield and putting pressure on their opponents. They are the favourites, with the aim of securing another three points to keep their perfect start to the season intact.
