FC Volendam carries a notably offensive statistical profile into their Eerste Divisie match away at Emmen on September 4, 2026. The figures, reported by ESPN, show a team that averages 2.50 goals per game but is also vulnerable at the back.
The team currently sits tenth in the league with six points from four matches. Their recent form is mixed with two wins and two losses. They have scored eleven goals and conceded five, giving them a positive goal difference of +6. This presents a different picture than the broader season statistics highlighted pre-match.
What do the attacking stats reveal?
FC Volendam's attacking threat is clear in the numbers. The team averages 2.50 goals per game. Their finishing accuracy appears strong, though two different shot-on-target percentages are cited: 52% and 68%. This points to an attacking mentality that creates chances. The number of corners won is reported as between 19 and 22, indicating consistent pressure and set-piece opportunities.
That pressure needs to translate into goals, especially as they trail league leaders Heracles by six points in the title race. Every win is crucial to close the gap. You can follow the full league table on our standings page.
How solid is the defence?
On the other side of the pitch, there are concerns. FC Volendam concedes an average of 2.75 goals per game. The goal difference from this broader dataset is reported as both +0.2 and +1.5, highlighting the inconsistency. The goalkeepers' save percentages are noted as 50% and 72%, a wide variance that raises questions about defensive stability.
The team has managed just one clean sheet. The foul count is high, at 63 or 47 according to different reports. This may indicate a defence that often commits fouls under pressure. Better organisation will be needed for the fixtures ahead.
What is the current form and context?
The current league position offers a more up-to-date perspective. With a goal difference of +6 from four games, the defence is currently performing better than the longer-term statistics suggest. The recent form (WLWL), however, does show that volatility. Each match is a chance to find consistency.
The Volendam squad for 2026 will need to prove itself in these kinds of away fixtures. The next assignment is an important clash away against NAC Breda, scheduled for December 6, 2026. Breda currently sits ninth. All upcoming matches can be found on our fixtures page.
The statistics from the ESPN report paint a picture of an attacking team that takes risks. The challenge is to combine that offensive power with more solidity at the back. The match against Emmen will be a direct test of that balance. The next official fixture is the away game at NAC Breda on December 6, 2026.
