Volendam's home opener was a statement 3-0 win, but heavy squad rotation — five regulars missing from the XI — makes that form difficult to trust. Dordrecht arrive unbeaten on the road and have started matches with real intent, scoring three of their four league goals inside the…

Sign inFC Volendam welcome Dordrecht to the Kras Stadion in Volendam on Friday 28 August 2026 for an Eerste Divisie Round 4 encounter. The home side have collected three points from their opening three fixtures, while the visitors sit on four points after a solid if unspectacular start.
No major injury concerns have surfaced in the build-up to this fixture, allowing both managers to pick from near-full squads. Volendam and Dordrecht appear to have a clean bill of health, with no suspensions or fresh knocks reported from their midweek work.
Dordrecht have taken four points from three games, their latest result a 2-2 draw away to RKC Waalwijk. The point at the Mandemakers Stadion – a fixture played on 15 August – showcased an ability to share goals and collect useful points on the road. With one win, one draw and one loss, their goal difference sits at zero, reflecting contests that have been tightly fought but rarely one-sided. A repeat of that resilience in Volendam would keep them on track for a mid-table foothold.
Volendam’s solitary victory so far has been offset by two defeats, leaving them a point behind their visitors. A positive goal difference of +1 suggests the attack is functioning, but defensive lapses have prevented them from turning good spells into points. The Kras Stadion crowd will expect a reaction after a patchy first few weeks, and the home side’s forward line will need to take advantage of any openings against a Dordrecht defence that has conceded exactly once per game on average.
A win for either side could provide a launchpad for the rest of September. Volendam will want to climb towards the top half, while Dordrecht aim to keep their encouraging start intact.
