If FC Volendam draw against Excelsior, they will win the second period title, but that is not the battle plan of the Volendam team. “It’s a bad attitude to go into the match thinking we’re going for one point.”

The Volendam team has to make do without Jamie Jacobs and Brandley Kuwas. Both players are injured, but are expected back shortly.
One change compared to last week is that Nordin Bukala is in the starting line-up. The midfielder will start for the first time this season on Friday. “I’m going to do my best and show the trainer that it will happen more often,” says Bukala, who will most likely take Aurelio Oehlers’ place.
A report with Nordin Bukala and Alex Plat will appear later today.
