Jong AZ vs Almere City Match Preview

Jong AZ is ranked at the 14th place with 23 points and comes after two wins a draw and two losses over the last five matches. They have had a season full of ups and downs so far, never finding any real consistency as in fact they never managed to win two games in a row.

In the last five outings, they have shown a good offensive side though, with 11 goals, which means two goals per game as minimum. With 35 goals in total, they have the second-best attack from the bottom half teams and since they are at home here, I expect them to score at least one goal.

Almere City is ranked at the 10th place with 32 points. They come after three wins a draw and a loss, with the last two being their most recent results. This caused them to drop in ranks and fall out of the playoff zone. Anyway, they are just four points behind and in case of a win here they could shorten the distance to just a single point. So the motivation will be big on them to do well here.

They have scored nine goals in the last five matches, averaging almost two goals per game. Now they face a rival with a leaky defense, as Jong AZ has conceded 41 goals in 22 games, so finding the back of the net should not be that hard for them.

In conclusion, I think this match can have over 2.5 goals. Jong AZ is a team that has shown quite an offensive football so far, despite the results they are getting. Almere City needs to get back on winning ways here and they will push hard to achieve that.
