Emmen host FC Volendam in an Eerste Divisie clash on 4 September 2026. Both sides enter the fixture with strong attacking credentials and a tendency toward open, goal-heavy football. Emmen have impressed at home with four wins in their last five matches, including dominant performances with scorelines of 4-0 and 6-4. Volendam, meanwhile, have shown inconsistency but remain capable of scoring freely—recent results include a 6-1 victory and a 3-0 win, though defensive vulnerabilities have cost them in losses. The head-to-head record between these teams reinforces a pattern of high-scoring encounters, with eight of their last nine meetings producing over 1.5 goals.
Form and H2H
Emmen's last ten matches show five wins, one draw, and four losses, averaging 1.92 goals for and 1.95 against. At home, they have demonstrated attacking potency with an average of four goals per match. Volendam's away form is less stable—four wins, one draw, and five losses—but they average 2.30 goals scored on the road and 1.70 conceded. Historically, the teams have met six times since 2017, with results ranging from 3-2 victories to 2-2 draws, underscoring their propensity for competitive, open matches. Volendam's defensive record shows they frequently concede multiple chances; in recent outings, they allowed 5.66 expected goals against Dordrecht and 2.02 xGA against Jong PSV, suggesting Emmen's attacking approach will find opportunities.
Best Bet
The primary selection is Over 3.5 Goals. Emmen's home form and Volendam's away vulnerabilities create conditions for a high-scoring encounter. Eight of Volendam's last ten matches have seen over 2.5 goals, and in nine of their last nine head-to-head meetings, the total exceeded 1.5. Combined with Emmen's average of four goals at home and Volendam's 4.2 average on the road, the data strongly supports a result above the 3.5 line. At 22Bet, this market is available at competitive odds.
Odds to Watch
Emmen are favored to win at 22Bet with odds of 2.21, reflecting their home advantage and recent form. A draw is priced at 3.84, while a Volendam victory stands at 2.773. Given Emmen's attacking momentum and Volendam's defensive inconsistency, the home win represents the most likely outcome, though the elevated odds on both the draw and away victory suggest the market acknowledges Volendam's capacity to score and create chaos in open play.
