Graafschap vs FC Volendam Prediction & Betting tips
In round three, De Graafschap and FC Volendam are directly opposite each other in De Vijverberg on Friday evening. De Graafschap is the big favorite, but FC Volendam set a monster score last week. Who will take the win on Friday?
De Graafschap:
Both foreign clubs such as Zagłębie Lubin and Al-Wahda FC and the Dutch TOP Oss and Lienden were defeated and De Graafschap seemed ready for the season. In the first game of the season, trainer Mike Snoei managed to win well in the home game against Cambuur. Thanks to a penalty and an own goal, De Graafschap managed to record a 2-0 victory. Yet there was a total metamorphosis on the Vijverberg, because of the eleven players who started in the play-off game on 22 May, only Leeroy Owusu and Youssef El Jebli started in the opening game of this season. For the latter, this will most likely not last long. The star player of Doetinchem has received permission from the club to talk to another club. The midfielder is therefore missing Wednesday at the training of the Super farmers, the club reports through the official channels. There is a chance that El Jebli will not be in the match selection on Friday evening.
The Super farmers played their first home game last week. In Maastricht, Snoei had to deal with MVV. Due to injuries from Daryl van Mieghem and Jordy Tutuarima the team was not at full strength but a simple victory was booked. The 0-1 was scored by Toine van Huizen with a good header from a corner, while El Jebli made his second of the season with a great goal. Ralf Seuntjes scored a great goal in the last minute, ending the game in 0-3. De Graafschap had a perfect start with 6 out of 2.
FC Volendam:
Wim Jonk and Keje Molenaar had to lead the Volendam football club to new successes. An attractive playing style had to make football entertaining again and that had to lead to more active supporters during the matches. According to Wim Jonk, those ingredients should lead to success together. In the first simple opening match against Helmond Sport there was not much to see. The club even fell behind in the Lavans Stadium, but was not effective. It still managed to make the tying run, but after a red card from Helmond Sport, it simply had to take advantage of the man-driving situation. That did not happen and one point against Helmond was not the desired result for the Volendam teacher.
The other Orange played in its own Krasstadion last week against Roda JC. In the initial phase FC Volendam had a lot of trouble with the Limburgers, but as the game progressed it got more grip. The team of Jonk started to play more freely and seemed to have more confidence. The offensive playing style worked out well and it was entertaining to see. FC Volendam won 4-0, but the score could have been even higher. Zakaria El Azzouzi scored his first for FC Volendam after the missed penalty of the previous round. Jari Vlak made his second of the season and Martijn Kaars and Nick Doodeman were also accurate.
