Maastricht vs Almere City Match Preview

Maastricht is ranked in 3rd place with 30 points and comes after three wins a draw and a loss over the last five matches. Currently, they sit in the promotion play-off zone but after the most recent defeat, they must try and bounce back in order to keep in touch with the teams above them.

With 29 goals scored so far they have one of the best offensive sides in the league and in the last five matches scored a total of 9 goals averaging almost two goals per game while managing to find the back of the net on four occasions. At home, they have been the best team as they are still unbeaten with 6 wins and 2 draws over 8 matches. The impressive thing is that they scored 22 goals in these duels which means they are averaging more than 2 goals per game in front of their fans.

Almere City, on the other hand, is ranked in 5th place with 26 points and comes in the exact same form as their rivals after three wins a draw, and a loss over the last five duels. They were experiencing a bad moment but it seems they are finally out of it as they won the last three in a row. This allowed them to climb up in ranks and enter the promotion play-off zone but they will need to continue like this in order to remain in it.

They have scored 23 goals so far which is a decent attack and in the last five matches scored a total of 9 goals averaging almost two goals per game. Theιρ new signing, Hilterman, has been quite prolific with 7 goals - 2 assists until now followed by Limbombe with 2 goals - 5 assists.

In conclusion, I think this match can have over 2.5 goals. Maastricht has been very solid at home and I expect another good performance by them. A goal is a minimum I expect from them, considering their rivals failed to keep a clean sheet in four of the last five duels. Almere City has found their best shape once again and in a direct duel like this they know they must dare more in order to try and get a positive result.
