Almere City form and stats

There's been little loot from Almere City's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 8 away games in the Eerste Divisie. Almere City only have 0 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 3 draws. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on R. Molenaar, the Almere City manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

The manager R. Molenaar was unhappy after their last game, a Eerste Divisie match played at their home ground Yanmar Stadion. Almere City suffered a 0-2 loss to FC Den Bosch (placed 12th). A 1-3 defeat away at SC Cambuur before that.

A quick return to home after this game, as Almere City are hosting FC Oss in the Eerste Divisie only four days away.

Almere City find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 9 goals from 8 away fixtures in the league. The Almere City manager R. Molenaar has some worries about the defense as 16 goals have been conceded in these travels.
