Go Ahead Eagles - Almere City predictions

A home win should not be questioned in this game. Go Ahead Eagles are seen as huge favourites to register an easy win against Almere City and we recommend you take the generous offer of 1.65.

At 5.60 betting odds, an away win would be a huge surprise and we’re positive Almere City are well aware of it themselves.

Go Ahead Eagles supporters were delighted by the attitude their team showed in the previous Eredivisie game. Their team went down in the first half and seemed to be well on the way to a widely predicted thumping. However, they managed to pull themselves together and defy the odds by earning a massive point in the second half (Ajax).

Almere City’s previous away game versus RKC Waalwijk was fairly uneventful, which isn’t necessarily bad for them. Considering their victory was priced at odds of 2.33 with most top bookmakers online, things were expected to go much worse for them.

Go Ahead Eagles have displayed rather inconsistent defensive play in their previous outings. Specifically, their previous 3 away games have been marked by more than 5 conceded goals. They may be at home this time, but such records usually highlight deeper issues than a home-field disadvantage.

Almere City’s most recent Eredivisie outings have been rather disappointing all things considered. Their previous 5 games all ended inconclusively.

Even though we’ve seen Go Ahead Eagles and Almere City clash multiple times this season, none of the two teams managed to secure a conclusive record. There have several tied games throughout multiple competitions.

The visitors have to contend with several injuries. Stijn Keller, Danny Post, Yann Kitala are the players that will be missing, which makes the Almere City lineup somewhat weaker than usual. This is made far worse because they were considered undergods going in either way.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the 888Sport priced at 2.18 odds.
