Volendam vs Utrecht: match statistics
Utrecht appears to be the favorite in this match despite their recent poor form. Volendam sits 17th in the table and has a very weak home record with just 33% wins, conceding an average of 1.33 goals per game at home. Utrecht shows a clear advantage in ball possession (51% vs 44%) and in the quality of chances created, as evidenced by higher xG values (1.53 vs 1.40).
