Almere City, Recent FormAlmere City will have been quite satisfied taking a point from their last match against Go Ahead Eagles, which ran out a 1-1 draw. In that game they had 53% possession and managed 18 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to Go Ahead Eagles who had 12 attempts and 4 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 6 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 6, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Unbeaten in 6 league games, but with just a single point from each of their last 6 games, the De Zwarte Schapen fans will be beginning to wonder how long they'll have to wait to see their team win again.
Sparta Rotterdam, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Sparta Rotterdam players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-1 home defeat at the hands of Heracles Almelo. They achieved 55% possession in that match and had 21 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Heracles Almelo's tally of 8 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 13 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 8 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Their form away from home has been of some concern, having recorded just 2 wins and 3 defeats in their last 6 matches on the road.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Sparta Rotterdam, Arno Verschueren will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Almere City recorded a 1-2 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
Goals should be on the cards for Almere in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against De Kasteelheren in their last 6 meetings together. When it comes to breaching the opposition defence, Sparta know how to do it against De Zwarte Schapen, having clocked up 13 goals against them in their previous 5 meetings.
Almere manager Alex Pastoor has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Nordin Bakker (Groin strain), Stijn Keller (Shoulder), Yann Kitala (Muscle) and Danny Post (Shin) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Jeroen Rijsdijk has a number of injury concerns in his Sparta squad to contend with: Joshua Kitolano (Unknown), Tobias Lauritsen (Shin) and Django Warmerdam (Unknown)
