Almere City FC

Current form
Almere City's situation in the Dutch championship is not very good. The team has won only three victories since the beginning of the season, beating Utrecht (1-0), Heerenveen (3-0) and its current opponent. With a game like this, the team probably doesn't have a chance to keep their registration for next season. Jeroen Reisdijk's men are in last place in the standings, having scored a hell of a dozen points and are 11 points behind the saving line. The club scored three points in the last match and will try to give a fight to the opponent from Nijmegen today. However, the squad had been defeated by Walwijk a round earlier (1-4). We also failed to show anything in the national Cup. The team finished their performance in the 1/32 finals, losing to Quick Boys (0:3).

There are no disqualified or injured players in the squad.
Interesting betting trends
- Almere City concedes two goals per match on average.
- In the last five games with the participation of the team, an average of 3.6 yellow cards are shown.
