MATCH PREVIEW

MAIN PREDICTION: HOME WIN

Almere City faced off at Maastricht and suffered a disappointing defeat. This loss sees them trail leaders Cambuur by 8 points, while they still see second placed De Graafschap within their reach – they trail by twice points. Almere City saw a 0-0 scoreline until the 73rd minute as Maastricht scored. They scored again later in the second half to see Almere City lose for the sixth time in the league. NEC Nijmegen played against Oss away from home with empty hand. Elayis Tavsan scored his 11th goal of the season in the first half and later lost 2-1. This means NEC Nijmegen have won five of their last six, but Oss ended a streak of five in a row. Almere City saw Maastricht end their streak of wins, which stood at three. I do see Almere City taking the home win here though. Almere have won 11 of 15 home league matches and only slipped up twice against league leaders Cambuur and in-form Volendam. They have allowed a league best 7 goals against.

 

HEAD TO HEAD

Almere City have beaten NEC Nijmegen in their last two league encounters at home, won 3-2 and 1-0 since. Almere City managed to beat NEC Nijmegen 1-0 away from home earlier this season.
