5-3-12 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for FC Den Bosch when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 20 matches are 22-38 (scored/conceded).

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Eerste Divisie game only four days ago.

Almere City form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Eerste Divisie this season. Almere City have only managed 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses from their games here at Yanmar Stadion.

Almere City's last game was hosting Helmond Sport (placed 20th) and winning 3-0. Midfielder Duijvestijn was the best player on the team with a rating of 9.03 (out of ten) in that game. Duijvestijn scored one goal, served one assist, hit five key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

In the game before, an away victory match versus Jong Utrecht with a 2-1 scoreline.

The Almere fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 20 in 15 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Almere City defense is not exactly impregnable. 27 goals conceded from 15 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
