Almere City, Recent FormAlmere City will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-1 win in their home outing against Excelsior. They came away from that fixture with 50% of the possession and clocked up 11 attempts on goal with 2 on target. By comparison, Excelsior managed 6 attempts on goal, with 3 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 9 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 7 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have been unable to score at home in 3 of their last 6 games; however, over the season so far, they've notched up 4 clean sheets in 10 games at Yanmar Stadion.
Almere will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games, but having managed just 2 wins leaves them plenty of room for improvement.
AZ, Recent FormThe 1-0 home defeat to Feyenoord will not have sat easily with the AZ squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. In that game they had 56% possession and managed 13 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Feyenoord who had 6 attempts and 2 on target.
Having lost 12 goals in their past 6 matches, boss Maarten Martens will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 9 goals they scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
On an individual basis, Vangelis Pavlidis has been a major threat in front of goal all season having scored 20 goals in the league so far.
After a good 4-1 win for AZ in this pair's last league encounter, Almere City will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.
With no real injury worries, Almere manager Alex Pastoor will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
With only Hobie Verhulst (Unknown) and Sem Westerveld (Unknown) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Maarten Martens will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
