2nd position in the Eerste Divisie table for Almere City so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 9th-placed FC Eindhoven visits Yanmar Stadion.
- Almere City is in the best form (5-1-0)
- FC Eindhoven have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting FC Eindhoven have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 7-1-11 (win-draw-loss) from 19 matches.
Almere City form and stats
This stadium, Yanmar Stadion, has been a fortress for Almere City in the Eerste Divisie so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 8-1-0. The happy trend is alive also outside their own arena as Almere has won their last four matches. Ever since the MVV Maastricht game Almere City has been unbeatable here at Yanmar Stadion producing eight straight wins.
Almere's previous game was a Eerste Divisie match also played at home, ending 1-0 versus De Graafschap (placed 4th). The home side are looking to build on that result. A strong away win before that one, visiting Jong PSV and winning 2-1.
Goals decide football matches and Almere are scoring many of them at home; 19 on target from 9 league matches. Defensively Almere have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (2 in 9 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. It's worth mentioning that 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
FC Eindhoven form and stats
3-2-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for FC Eindhoven in their Eerste Divisie matches away. Eindhoven has drawn their two previous away games.
The manager E. Brandts was unhappy after their last game, a Eerste Divisie match played at their home ground Jan Louwers Stadion. Eindhoven suffered a 2-5 loss to SC Cambuur (placed 1st). Ahead of that match was the away draw versus FC Den Bosch that ended 1-1.
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Eindhoven, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun? FC Eindhoven goalkeeper Ruud Swinkels had a great day against SC Cambuur, but despite making six saves the loss could not be avoided.
The attacking power of Eindhoven when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 8 league matches away. As for defending, FC Eindhoven rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 15 goals from these away matches.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: six wins for Almere, zero draws and four wins for FC Eindhoven. Over 2,5 goals: eight times; under 2,5 goals: two games.Top Goalscorers
