Command Analysis
Almere City FC
NetherlandsCurrent form
Almere City confirms the underdog status of the Eredivisie, which was predicted for them before the start of the season. On January 3 of this year, the head coach was changed. Hedwiges Maduro was replaced by Geron Risdzik. Under his guidance, the team played one match against Groningen, and it was not possible to determine the winner in that meeting (1:1). At the moment, the hosts are in the penultimate place with ten points. Four points out of ten were taken in the last two rounds, so who knows, maybe the change of coach will inspire the players, and they will even be able to fight for their place in the league.
Disqualifications and injuries
Guilaum will not appear on the field due to injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- Almere City are unbeaten for two games in a row
- The hosts kept a clean sheet in their last two matches
Tentative line-up: Bakker - Akuyobi, Barbe, Visus, Zagaritis - Tahiri, Haye - Deslauriers-Chobe, van de Kamp, Cadile - Robinet.
Heracles
NetherlandsCurrent form
Heracles are playing a little luckier than their counterparts. Over the past part of the season, the visitors have one more win and two more draws. With 15 points, the team is outside the relegation zone, but is only five points ahead (Almere City) and two points ahead of Sparta, which is in the play-off zone. In 2025, Erwin van de Louis' protégés have already played two matches. There was a draw with Sparta (1:1) and a victory over Graafschap in the national cup away with a score of 2:0.
The club does not play its best away from home. If we go into detail, four of the last five matches were defeats.
Disqualifications and injuries
Due to injuries, Bultman, Kulenovic, Kestic and Laursen will not be able to take to the field.
Interesting trends for betting
- In the last nine matches, Heracles has won only once
- The visitors have scored in five of the last six matches
Probable line-up: De Keyser - Benita, Mirani, Mesik, Rusken - de Keersmaeker, Van Kam, Scheperman, Sand, Engels - Hornkamp.

1.73Tip and bets
Almere City game has been transformed recently. The 3-0 home win over Heerenveen in their last match shows that the players have not let go and will fight to stay in the league. The change of head coach also shows that the management does not intend to put up with such poor performances of their players.
Heracles, in turn, is seriously sagging in their play in away matches, and, as we believe, under the pressure of an inspired Almere City, the visitors will suffer another fiasco.
Our prediction is Almere City win with odds of 2.33
