Almere City, Recent FormAlmere City had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 2-2 draw against Heracles Almelo. In that game they had 37% possession and managed 14 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to Heracles Almelo who had 15 attempts and 5 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Alex Pastoor will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 5 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 7 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have been unable to score at home in 4 of their last 6 games; however, over the season so far, they've notched up 5 clean sheets in 12 games at Yanmar Stadion.
It's been a mixed run of form for Almere recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
FC Utrecht, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-0 away defeat by Ajax will have left the FC Utrecht squad feeling a little deflated. They achieved 40% possession in that match and had 6 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Ajax's tally of 14 efforts at goal, 8 of which were on target.
Manager Ron Jans will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and they've kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 6 games on the road.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
Having scored 5 goals in his last 6 league games for FC Utrecht, Taylor Booth will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
It was not a positive ending for FC Utrecht last time they met Almere City in the league, with the game ending in a 0-2 defeat.
With no real injury worries, Almere manager Alex Pastoor will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Ron Jans has a number of injury concerns in his Utrecht squad to contend with: Vasilis Barkas (Muscle), Taylor Booth (Knee), Anthony Descotte (Unknown), Isac Lidberg (Unknown) and Ole Romeny (Finger)
