The visiting Almere City side should be favourites in this visit to FC Dordrecht, as the away team holds a 13 point advantage from their seven league games this season.
Almere City could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Eerste Divisie game only three sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at FC Den Bosch. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
