In total they scored 44 and conceded 42 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 3 - drew 4 and lost 8 with 19/28 goals scored/conceded.

After this away game Almere return home for a Eerste Divisie game against Jong Utrecht. That game is only four sleeps after this.

It's never easy knowing what to expect based on friendly games, of which Almere City have played seven with the results W3-D2-L2 (win-draw-lost). In these games Almere City has scored 12 goals and conceded 11 times.

Head 2 Head
