Volendam have been inching closer to the drop zone over the last few weeks, and this decline is reflected in their defensive performances. Volendam have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last 12 matches across all competitions, seeing BTTS in three of their last five heading into this clash.

Fortuna Sittard have seen BTTS in each of their last five matches across all competitions, winning only two of those games. Fortuna Sittard are just as vulnerable as Volendam on the road in the Eredivisie this season, conceding 27 goals across their 13 away matches (2.07 per 90). 

Fortuna Sittard have only managed to win three of their away matches in the Eredivisie this season as well, so this represents a real opportunity for Volendam to end their recent poor form and climb away from the drop zone.

This game is set up perfectly for goals at both ends, with neither side looking particularly convincing at the back in recent weeks. Both teams saw BTTS land in their Champions League fixtures during the week - Newcastle drew 1-1 with Barcelona, while Chelsea collapsed to a 5-2 defeat at the hands of PSG.

Both sides have also seen BTTS in each of their last five matches across all competitions. Chelsea, in particular, have managed just three clean sheets in 16 games under Liam Rosenior so far. His time in charge has drawn comparisons to Mauricio Pochettino’s tenure. He seems popular with the players, but the style is chaotic and arguably a bit naive, something PSG exposed during the week.

Newcastle, meanwhile, have seen BTTS in each of their last 13 matches across all competitions, a run stretching back to a 2-0 defeat against Aston Villa at the end of January. Eddie Howe’s side are missing Bruno Guimarães more than they’d like at the moment, but they still carry enough individual quality to cause problems for any opposition.

The most recent league meeting between these two produced four goals, with Chelsea coming from behind to earn a 2-2 draw. That game also delivered a combined xG of 3.53, with both sides posting a tally north of 1.0.

Nijmegen have become a bit of a favourite to follow, and to be fair, they rarely let you down when backing their games for goals. Across Europe this season, few sides have been as consistently entertaining - their matches tend to offer action at both ends, thanks to a chaotic, high-risk approach that can sometimes feel borderline reckless.

They’ve seen both teams score in four of their last five outings across all competitions, the only exception being a 3-0 win over Volendam last time out, a side that really lacks quality in the final third. In the most recent head-to-head, Nijmegen ran out 3-2 winners in the KNVB Cup, but the league meetings have also delivered. The last two Eredivisie clashes between the two produced BTTS and a staggering 14 goals combined.

As for PSV, they’ve also seen BTTS land in each of their last five matches in all comps. At home in the league this season, their 13 games have produced 59 goals - 4.53 per game. Clean sheets aren't really their thing either. Despite sitting top of the table, four sides have kept more shutouts than PSV this term, who have managed just six.

St Gallen and Lugano sit 2nd and 3rd in the Swiss Super League this season, though both are well off the pace set by Thun, who have been one of the stories of the season across Europe as a newly promoted side looking to claim the title in the top-flight for the first time of asking.

Every spot matters in the Swiss Super League, with the division breaking off into a Championship group and a Relegation group at the end of the league phase. The higher up you finish, the easier your games become in those separate groups - so the teams do have plenty to fight for despite comfortably being in the Championship group spots.

The initial league meeting between the sides saw BTTS as St Gallen ran out 3-1 winners over Lugano on the road. Lugano come into this clash having seen BTTS in four of their last five matches across all competitions, winning two of those games. St Gallen have also seen BTTS in four of their last five matches across all competitions, remaining unbeaten across all of those games.
