Nijmegen vs Almere City Match Preview

Nijmegen is ranked at the 8th place of the Dutch Eerste Divisie with six points and comes after two wins and a loss in three games played so far. They started the new season with a loss against Cambuur but bounced right back in the next two games as they won against Jong Ajax and FC Volendam.

One again now they are favorite to win when they host Almere City. In these two wins they got, they scored five goals, two against Jong Ajax and three against FC Volendam respectively, but failed to keep a clean sheet in both duels. It seems they will be a serious contender this season for securing a promotion ticket.

Almere City, on the other hand, is ranked at the 3rd place with seven points and comes after two wins and a draw in three matches played so far. After the 0-0 draw in the opener, they had two nice wins with many goals as they won 6-4 against Excelsior on the road and 3-0 against Oss.

They have one of the best offensive sides in the league for the moment with nine goals scored and once again they have proved they will play attacking football for this season. In the last season, they were close to end up in the playoff zone and they will try to keep this form in order to keep their spot.

In conclusion, I think this match can have over 2.5 goals. Nijmegen has the advantage to play at home this duel and I expect them to score at least a goal as a minimum. They won three of the last five games played at home against Almere City, having scored 15 goals averaging three goals per game. Almere City should contribute with a goal as a minimum, as they have scored at least once in four of the last five h2h games between them.
