FC Volendam vs Jong Utrecht Prediction

FC Volendam and Jong Utrecht meet at FC Volendam's ground on 23 October in the Eerste Divisie, and the most compelling angle in this fixture is the likelihood that both sides find the net.

The evidence for both teams scoring is hard to ignore. Jong Utrecht have scored in every one of their last five matches, including a 6–1 win over Jong Ajax at home on 14 September and a 3–2 away victory at NAC Breda on 11 September. Their away record over 20 games shows 14 of 20 meetings with both teams scoring, and their latest 10 across all venues produced BTTS in 9 of 10. FC Volendam, meanwhile, have scored in 4 of their last 5 and have 13 of 20 home meetings ending with both sides on the scoresheet. The xG numbers reinforce this: FC Volendam average 2.16 expected goals for and 1.4 against across four recent games, while Jong Utrecht average 1.21 for and 2.07 against across six. Both figures point to a game where neither defence is likely to stay silent.

The broader picture also tilts towards FC Volendam. Their home record over 20 games is 9 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses, with 1.65 goals scored per game and 1.25 conceded. Jong Utrecht's away record over 20 games is 5 wins, 5 draws and 10 losses, with 1.35 scored and 1.65 conceded. In the latest 10 games across all venues, FC Volendam sit at 5 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses (1.6 points per game) while Jong Utrecht manage just 2 wins, 1 draw and 7 losses (0.7 points per game). Jong Utrecht's current run is three consecutive defeats, in which they scored 3 and conceded 7.

The counter-argument is that FC Volendam's home record is not dominant — 7 losses in 20 home games means they are far from untouchable at this venue. Their last five matches include two losses (both away) and a draw, and the head-to-head between these two sides is entirely historical, with the most recent meeting dating to 28 April 2025. That means there is no current-form head-to-head to lean on, and the 5–0 record FC Volendam hold over Jong Utrecht in those meetings is a matter of the past rather than a present guarantee.

Key Points:

• Jong Utrecht have scored in all 5 of their recent matches; FC Volendam have scored in 4 of 5

• FC Volendam's home record: 13/20 BTTS yes; Jong Utrecht's away record: 14/20 BTTS yes
