FC Volendam vs AZ Alkmaar Prediction (17.08.2025)

AZ are considered one of the favorites in the Eredivisie, but their problems away from home often come to light. Even when they appear to be the stronger team, their lack of stability far from home brings surprising difficulties. However, they rarely give up their offensive style, which leads to high-scoring matches with many chances at both ends.

Newcomer Volendam knows that against an opponent like AZ, defensive spaces can be fatal, but at the same time, they also provide opportunities for counterattacks. The statistics are clear - eight of AZ's last ten matches ended with over 2.5 goals. The picture is similar in direct clashes, where in four of the last five matches between the two teams, there were at least three goals scored.

Considering AZ's fluctuations away from home and Volendam's ability to capitalize on their rare chances, it seems more logical to look for a high-scoring match. The combination of the guests' attacking power and the trend for high-scoring matches in their direct encounters leads me to predict over 2.5 goals.
