In a surprising turn of events in the Dutch Keuken Kampioen Divisie, Excelsior triumphed over FC Volendam with a resounding 4-1 victory at the Kras Stadion on April 20, 2025. The AI prediction favored a home win for FC Volendam, with a 39.8% win probability, making Excelsior's dominant performance a significant upset. The game was not expected to be balanced, and the result certainly reflected that.
Excelsior's Sanches Fernandes was the star of the show, netting a hat-trick (16', 23', 60'), while Lance Duijvestijn added another goal from the penalty spot in the 72nd minute. FC Volendam's lone goal came from Henk Veerman, also via a penalty, in the 82nd minute. Excelsior's superior attacking prowess was evident in their 22 total shots, with 10 on target, compared to FC Volendam's 9 shots and 4 on target. Possession was relatively even, with Excelsior holding a slight edge (52% vs. 48%). Fouls were heavily in favor of Excelsior (17 vs. 7).
Looking at the teams' recent form, Excelsior has been on a stellar winning streak, having won their previous five matches. FC Volendam, while also in good form with four wins in their last five, couldn't maintain their momentum. Historically, recent head-to-head games were balanced, each side winning at least once.
FC Volendam's next match is away against Jong FC Utrecht. Given Jong FC Utrecht's poor form (having lost most of their last games), FC Volendam will be hoping to get back on track. Excelsior will host FC Emmen in their next game. Based on their recent performance and FC Emmen's recent struggles (lost 2 of the last 3 games), Excelsior will be confident in continuing their winning streak.
The game highlights a significant difference in form between the two teams on the day. While FC Volendam had been performing well, Excelsior's dominant attack proved too much to handle. This result could impact the teams' confidence and approach in their upcoming matches.

On April 20, 2025, FC Volendam will face Excelsior at the Kras Stadion in a highly anticipated Dutch Keuken Kampioen Divisie match.
