Jong Ajax vs Almere City Match Preview

Jong Ajax is ranked in 16th place with 31 points and comes after two wins and three losses over the last five matches. As is already known they can not get promoted so their main goal is to prepare new players for the first team of Ajax.

With 51 goals scored they have one of the best offensive sides in the league and in the last five duels scored a total of 13 goals averaging more than two goals per game. But they also conceded 56 goals which makes them the second-worst defensive side in the league. They like to play a lot in attack but by doing so they leave many spaces behind. And their rivals seem to make use of these spaces.

Rasmussen has been their key man in attack with 9 goals - 2 assists followed by Hlynsson with 7 goals - 6 assists.

Almere City is ranked in 4th place with 49 points and comes after three wins a draw and a loss over the last five matches. They were rolling pretty well before losing the most recent match 1-3 against a direct rival, Venlo. Now their hopes for direct promotion are very slim as they sit 11 points behind the 2nd spot.

With 40 goals scored they have shown a good offensive side this season and in the last five matches scored a total of five goals averaging a goal per game while managing to find the back of the net in four encounters. On the road, they have been pretty decent too, as they won the last four games in a row.

Hilterman has been their best offensive player with 12 goals - 3 assists and is followed by Duijvestijn with 6 goals - 3 assists.

In conclusion, I think both teams can score at least a goal here. Jong Ajax is a team that plays offensive football as it is part of their mentality and even this season nothing has changed. They are one of the teams with the most goals scored but also conceded many goals. Almere City has got to try and win this duel so I guess they will be on the attack too as another loss would make them drop in ranks and complicate more their situation.
