Volendam v Go Ahead Eagles: survival push meets mid-table consolidation | OneFootball

Volendam host Go Ahead Eagles in the Eredivisie on Sunday, 1 February 2026 at the Kras Stadion, with the hosts seeking breathing space above the drop and the visitors looking to firm up their lower mid-table position.

Volendam are 15th on 17 points and have taken most of their haul at home. Go Ahead Eagles sit 14th with 21 points and won the reverse fixture 3-0 in September.

Recent momentum is mixed. Volendam beat Utrecht 2-1 at home but lost at AZ and Ajax in January, with 15 of their 17 points earned on home turf. The Supereagles have been hard to shake, drawing three straight league games, including 2-2 at Ajax, before holding Braga 0-0 in Europe.

Selection could matter. Volendam list forwards Henk Veerman and Anthony Descotte, plus midfielder Gibson Osahumen Yah, as injured. For the Supereagles, defenders Gerrit Nauber and Pim Saathof and midfielder Robbin Weijenberg are out. The hosts' attacking options could be thinned, while the visitors are short in defence.

The season's trends point to contrasting approaches. Volendam average 44% possession with one clean sheet and three headed goals, so may look to stay compact and break. The Supereagles average 52% possession, deliver 19.08% cross accuracy from open play and have six headed goals, so wide service could be their route in.

A home win would strengthen Volendam's cushion above the relegation places. Victory for the Supereagles would push them further clear of the bottom three and closer to the mid-table pack.
