FC Dordrecht vs Almere City FC Predictions

Friday night’s 2-0 victory at home to Telstar made it six league wins from six for Almere City, who are now up to 4^th place in Eerste Divisie and thriving under new manager Ole Tobiasen. They will be one of the favourites to achieve promotion in the Play-offs based on their current form, but Schappenkoppen will be keen to maintain their momentum from here until the end of the regular season.

Goals from Elmorfidis and Loen sealed an expected success for Almere against Telstar at Yanmar Stadion on Friday, and the result propelled Schappenkoppen up to 4^th in the table after both Jong PSV and Den Bosch failed to win their respective fixtures against Go Ahead Eagles and Jong Utrecht.

City’s rise up the standings has been a remarkable achievement considering they were as low as 15^th just a couple of months ago, and all credit has to go to boss Ole Tobiasen as the club have been transformed since the Dane took over from Michele Santoni.

Crucially, City’s current lofty position means that they will avoid the Preliminary Round in the Play-offs if things stay as they are, and Almere will certainly be backed by many for promotion this time around after falling at the final hurdle in 2017/18.

It’s no surprise that the bookmakers rate them as favourites to beat Dordrecht on Easter Monday – however their odds of around 11/10 are more generous than anticipated.

With a perfect six wins from six and four victories from their last half dozen matches on the road, City should really be odds-on for this match day 26 contest – particularly as Dordrecht have won just one from their last eight at Riwal Hoogwerkers Stadion.

The hosts aren’t the pushovers that they were earlier in the campaign as eight points from their last four league fixtures indicates and 17^th place is probably not a true reflection of where the team are right now under the stewardship of Claudio Braga.

Nonetheless, this Almere City side looks a class apart from them and we’re recommending a three point stake on the visitors to triumph in this one, with 1-3 appealing in the correct score market at a decent price.
