Almere City vs Graafschap Match Preview

Almere City is ranked at the 10th place with 32 points and comes after three wins a draw and a loss over the last five matches. This allowed them to climb in ranks and now sit only one point behind the play-off zone. So it is a very important game for them and they will have the advantage to play in front of their fans, where they have won eight out of ten duels so far, having scored 19 goals, averaging almost two goals per game. They have managed to find the back of the net in nine out of ten home games so far. Additionally, in their last five matches, they have scored ten goals, averaging two goals per game.

Graafschap is ranked at the third place with 40 points and comes in a very good form as they are unbeaten in the last five matches, collecting four draws and a win. They will need to continue this streak, if they want to remain in the direct promotion zone, so I expect to see a motivated team here. The guests have scored 43 goals in 21 games and are the third best offense in the league, averaging at least two goals per match and also the team with the fewest loses, as they have lost just once so far. On the road they have scored ten goals in the last five duels.

In conclusion, I think this match can have over 2.5 goals. Almere City will try to get a positive result at home ground and should score at least a goal judging by their form here. Graafschap is the better team, they have proven it so far and having such a good attack facing not a very solid defense I guess they can also score.
