FC Eindhoven

Current form
Eindhoven currently occupies only 12th place in the First Division, but the density in the tournament table is quite high - the hosts are only five points behind the seventh place, which gives the opportunity to fight in the playoff for a ticket to the Eredivisie. In December, the team suffered a defeat from Venlo (1:3) in the championship, and also flew out of the Dutch Cup, losing to Excelsior (1:3). Then they managed to draw with Dordrecht (3:3). On January 4, the team from Eindhoven managed to beat Fortuna Sittard (2:1) in a friendly match.

FC Volendam

Current form
Volendam has a high chance of getting into the Eredivisie at the end of this season. The team is in first place in the league table and has set promotion as its main goal. It will be difficult to hold on to first place - second-placed Excelsior is only one point behind. Over the past three months, the visitors have suffered only one defeat, and it came in a cup match with amateur Rinsburgs Boys (0:2). Now the club can focus on playing in the championship. In their last home matches, the team from Volendam won against the youth team of AZ Alkmaar (2:0) and against Graafschap (2:1). In the away match, they only managed to achieve a draw with Excelsior (0:0).
Disqualifications and injuries
Bilal Old-Cheek will miss the fight due to a back injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- The visitors have failed to score in two of their last three matches
- The team has suffered only one defeat in its last 14 matches.

2.13Tip and bets
The visitors have been showing excellent football this season and are steadily moving towards promotion to the Eredivisie. The hosts are acting too inconsistently, which explains their position in the middle of the tournament table. The team recently even lost to one of the main outsiders of the season, Venlo. It is unlikely that with such a level of play they will be able to take points from the championship leader. Let's bet on Volendam's success.
Our prediction is Volendam's victory at 1.90
Bet on total
The visitors have managed to score in only one of the last three matches, and the hosts are not doing their best in attack. We believe that in the face-to-face match the opponents will focus on defense. It is unlikely that more than three goals will be scored here.
Our prediction is total under three goals at 1.85
Bet on corners
Most likely, the opponents will play defensively, which means that many corner flag passes are not expected. We suggest betting on the total under this indicator.
Our prediction is under 9.5 corners for 2.30
