Graafschap vs Almere City Match Preview

Graafschap is ranked at second spot with 73 points and comes after three wins and two losses over the last five matches. Winning three consecutive games after going for three games without a single win managed to get them not just in the top-two but also create a six points distance with the next teams following.

With 63 goals scored so far they have shown a very good offensive side and in the last five matches scored a total of five goals averaging one goal per game, while managing to find the back of the net at least once in four occasions. At home they have been on a great run this season being one of the teams with the best performance. Seuntjens has scored 14 goals for them while providing 4 assists and should be fully fit to play from the start here after resting in the previous game.

Almere City, on the other hand, is ranked at 4th place with 67 points and comes in a bad run after a single win two draws and two losses over the last five matches. This made them drop in ranks and lose the second spot which means direct promotion. In a direct duel like this they have got to give their best in order to bounce back from the most recent defeat.

With 68 goals scored their offensive side has been one of the best in the league, averaging two goals per game but in the last five matches they have scored a total of three goals which is far from what we are used to see from them. Verheydt is their best scorer with 19 goals and 5 assists but failed to score in any of the last three duels, so they will need him to step up once again.

In conclusion, I think both teams can score at least a goal here. Graafschap is in a better form for the moment and I expect at least a goal by them. At home they scored in nine of the last ten games. Almere City is in need for points here because they need to remain alive in the fight for securing a promotion spot. Their offensive side throughout the season has been very good and even on the road they scored 36 goals over 17 matches.
