General match analysis
AZ II have a clear edge in chance creation at home: their average xG stands at 1.65, compared with Volendam’s away figure of just 1.02, while the hosts also register 14 shots per match versus their opponents’ 7.67. Volendam are in better overall form, winning 3 of their last 5 matches and scoring 14 goals in the process, whereas AZ II have netted 12 goals and suffered 3 defeats. However, the key factor is the visitors’ extremely poor away record: they have lost all 3 matches, conceding an average of 3 goals, with an xG against of 1.91. AZ II are not particularly impressive defensively either, having failed to keep a clean sheet at home and conceding 1.33 goals per match, so Volendam have a realistic chance of scoring. The hosts’ superior average possession of 58% compared with the visitors’ 47%, along with their advantage in the quality of chances created, gives AZ II a slight edge to win.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The BTTS pick is primarily supported by AZ II’s current form: in their last 5 matches, both teams scored in 100% of games, while the hosts averaged 2.4 goals scored and 2.4 conceded. Volendam scored as many as 2.8 goals per match during this period, with an average xG of 1.72, while AZ II allowed opponents an xG of 1.68. The hosts have very strong attacking potential at home, averaging 3.67 goals scored, 2.07 xG, and 7.67 shots on target per match, while Volendam have not kept a single clean sheet. The only argument for BTTS - No is AZ II’s solid season-long defense, which concedes an average of 0.33 goals at home and has a 67% clean-sheet rate, but their last five matches clearly indicate a defensive decline. Additionally, 74% of league matches end with both teams scoring, making at least one goal for each side the more likely scenario.
