Groningen Almere City betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 17^th position of the league, with 9 points won, after 2 wins, 3 draws and 12 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Ajax, by (3‑0). In the last match, they won in a home match against SC Heerenveen, by (3‑0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 2 draws and 11 losses in away matches, with 11 goals scored and 29 conceded; against 3 wins, 3 draws and 9 losses at their stadium, with 15 goals scored and 33 conceded. In the last 8 away league matches Almere has a record of 2 draws and 6 losses, so they have won 2 points out of 24 possible.

In this competition, they have a sequence of 4 losses in the last away matches and they haven't won any of the last 8 away matches. In their away matches there are a few frequent results: at half‑time 1‑0 (3 out of 8 matches) and after the 90' 3‑0 (3 out of 8 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 4 of the last 17 matches for the Eredivisie, they have reached half‑time in front in 2 of those 4 matches and have held on to the lead in 2. In 17 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 12 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 19 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 7 of their 12 goals between minutes (61'‑75').

Almere come into this match still under pressure from their position in the relegation zone, despite having won in the previous round. With the worst attack and a very vulnerable defense, the team needs significant adjustments to compete on equal terms with Groningen. The strategy will have to be defensive, with a focus on neutralizing the opponent's strengths and exploiting counter-attacks. Even knowing the difficulties, Almere will be looking to pick up points to keep their chances of staying in the division alive.

Confirmed Lineup: Nordin Bakker, Vasilios Zagaritis, Theo Barbet, Joey Jacobs, Hamdi Akujobi, Thom Haye, Anas Tahiri, Jochem Ritmeester van de Kamp, Thomas Robinet, Junior Kadile, Charles-Andreas Brym.
