Volendam will host PSV Eindhoven at the Kras Stadion on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 Eredivisie campaign.
The home side have endured a poor run of results in the league this season and are in danger of dropping down to the Dutch second tier. They were beaten 4-2 by Utrecht in their last match with Leicester City loanee Zach Booth opening the scoring for the Palingboeren before his brother Taylor scored a hat-trick to hand their opponents all three points.
Volendam sit 17th in the league table with 12 points from 20 games. They are level on points with last-placed Vitesse and will be desperate for a positive result this weekend.
PSV Eindhoven, meanwhile, have enjoyed a brilliant campaign and are going full steam ahead in their pursuit of a first Eredivisie title since 2018. They played out a 1-1 draw against rivals Ajax in their last match, finding themselves a goal down in the opening 20 minutes before team captain Luuk de Jong leveled the scores later in the half.
The visitors sit atop the Eredivisie standings with 56 points from 20 matches and will be hopeful of adding to that tally here.
