FC Zwolle

LLLWDL

Almere City

LLLDDL 📉

After suffering a loss in their previous game against FC Twente in Eredivisie action, Almere City and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

In that match, Almere City managed 40% possession and 16 attempts at goal with 4 on target. On the other side, FC Twente had 16 shots at goal with 8 on target. Sem Steijn (9', 45'), Sam Lammers (55'), Ricky van Wolfswinkel (73') and Anass Salah-Eddine (75') scored for FC Twente.

It is worth noting that Almere City have failed to get amongst the goals in their past 6 games, contributing the unsatisfactory return of just 2. In those matches, De Zwarte Schapen have also seen the overall goal tally against them equal 17. Let’s see whether or not that trend will end up being continued on into this next match.

Going into this encounter, Almere City have not won away from home in their last 8 league matches. What a terrible run of away results.
