This suggests the team is in fairly decent shape. On average, Volendam score just over one goal per game (1.16), but their defense is a concern, conceding approximately 1.64 goals per match.

⭐ Editorial Prediction
Considering the trends and current form of the teams, we predict a high likelihood that both sides will find the back of the net in this match. The "both teams to score" trend is backed by their head-to-head statistics, with this outcome occurring in nearly all of their recent encounters (8 out of 9). Moreover, both clubs boast strong attacking lines: NEC consistently thrills their fans with a flurry of goals at home, while Volendam seize every opportunity to score, even on the road. Based on this, and given the relatively low odds for both teams to score, we recommend taking a bolder approach and opting for a bet on over 3.5 total goals.
