Go Ahead Eagles - Almere City predictions

If you’re looking for a relatively safe result bet, a home win at odds of 1.55 is a solid option. That said, Almere City may yet be able to pull off a surprise, maybe even in the form of a stalemate.

The current perspective makes the situation plain as day. Given the superiority of Go Ahead Eagles and the 5.84 odds given to Almere City to win, it is clear that anything but a home win would be a stunning upset.

A SC Heerenveen defeat was not something Go Ahead Eagles fans can exactly be happy about. Their team trailed at the break and lost in the end but, if it’s any consolation, a narrow, one-goal margin defeat is a smaller pill to swallow than any away thumping.

Almere City played against Feyenoord last round, so it’s hard to be surprised by the harsh 1:4 home loss. The 1.43 betting odds are a good indication of just how one-sided such a matchup is.

A quick look at recent history shows us that Go Ahead Eagles don’t tend to fare too well at De Adelaarshorst despite the home-field advantage. Results aside, they’ve conceded more than 5 goals in their previous 3 home games alone.

Almere City’s recent track record shows a very concerning amount of concessions – 6 of them in their previous 3 matches, to be exact. While it’s obvious their defence has a lot of problems, Over markets might be a good option for this match.

Almere City’s 17th table placement means that, if they continue with lacklustre performances, they’ll be on their way to relegation. It’s still too early to write them off, though, even if the upcoming match is a difficult one.

As far as head-to-head statistics go, we’ll have to take a look at the previous season’s results. A quick look reveals this matchup tends to end in a draw, even though most bookies are projecting a win for Go Ahead Eagles.

With no injuries or suspensions to deal with, both teams will be able to give their all this Saturday.

An Over 3.5 Goals bet is easily the smartest choice for this fixture, consider in the teams’ respective histories. It’s a considerably more probable outcome than it seems, so the 2.35 odds are great value.
