FC Volendam vs Excelsior Prediction & Tips
On Saturday 20 September, a match between the two promoted clubs is scheduled. FC Volendam will host Excelsior at their own Kras Stadium.
After one season away, FC Volendam is back at the highest level in the Netherlands. Last season, the Volendam team won the Keuken Kampioen Division championship fairly easily with 82 points and 26 victories. This was an excellent start to coach Rik Kruys’s tenure at the club. Under Kruys, the team from the fishing village lost only nine times in 43 matches.
What applies to FC Volendam also applies to their opponents this Saturday, Excelsior. The Kralingers were also relegated to the Keuken Kampioen Division two seasons ago after two seasons in the Eredivisie. Excelsior also managed to gain immediate promotion to the Eredivisie under a new manager. Under the 34-year-old Ruben Den Uyl, the club finished second with 74 points.
