PREVIEW: RKAV VOLENDAM HOSTS DE TREFFERS IN TWEEDE DIVISIE SHOWDOWN

VOLENDAM, Netherlands (Interstat) — Two sides riding contrasting recent form will meet Saturday when RKAV Volendam hosts De Treffers in a Tweede Divisie fixture at Kras Stadion.

The match pits a Volendam squad seeking to rebound from a defeat against a De Treffers team buoyed by a strong unbeaten run. The visitors enter the weekend clash in superior form.

De Treffers (10-6-8) is unbeaten in its last seven league matches (5-2-0), a streak that includes a 3-0 victory over Barendrecht and a 3-2 win at Almere City. Its most recent result was a 2-2 draw with VV Rijnsburgse Boys on March 28.

In contrast, RKAV Volendam (11-3-10) saw a three-game winning streak snapped last Saturday with a 1-0 road loss to KVV Quick Boys. Prior to that, Volendam had secured victories over HHC Hardenberg, GVVV and Excel Maassluis, showcasing a potent attack that scored eight goals across those three wins.

The head-to-head history favors De Treffers, which earned a 1-0 home victory when the teams last met on Aug. 16, 2025.

A statistical projection from Interstat forecasts a 2-2 draw for Saturday’s contest, suggesting a tightly fought match. The prediction aligns with De Treffers’ resilient form and Volendam’s offensive capability at home, where they have won three of their last four.

The matchup carries significance for the mid-table standings in the Dutch third tier. De Treffers will look to maintain momentum ahead of a home-heavy April schedule, with upcoming matches against ACV and VV Katwijk. Volendam aims to restart a winning streak before facing VV Ijsselmeervogels next week.

Kickoff is scheduled for 2 p.m. local time (1400 GMT) on April 4.
