Maastricht vs Almere City FC Predictions

• Maastricht kept just two clean sheets in their 15 home league games.
• Both teams scored in a league-high 80% of Almere’s away league games (12/15).
• Maastricht failed to score in just 27% of their home league games.

No home comforts for Maastricht

After a cracking 3-1 away win over De Graafschap last time out, Maastricht return home with the aim of improving their woeful form here. In fact, only one side picked up fewer points than Maastricht at home (W4, D2, L9) as they conceded almost two goals per-match on average.

Despite their woes, Maastricht can point to a positive home H2H record, with just one defeat across the last 17 H2Hs held in Maastricht casting doubt upon the odds-on price about an away win in this fixture.

That is not to mention the fact that Almere have no fewer than seven players potentially missing through injury for this clash. The gap to the promotion places looks to be an unassailable one at this point and with just three points separating the sides, the odds for this game seem to be skewed somewhat.

An end-to-end encounter is expected

While the visitors are enjoying a richer vein of form, we predict that going for both teams to score in this game could be the safer selection.

Not only are the odds stronger than backing an away win, it also looks to have a greater chance of success when considering both Almere’s league-high away BTTS games and their poor record at this venue.

For smaller stakes, we are going for a narrow, yet entertaining 2-1 victory for Almere City.
