AZ Alkmaar vs Almere City – Preview, and Prediction
AZ Alkmaar vs Almere City – Before the recent international break, Almere City had won eight straight games in all competitions.
Since then, despite playing teams like Heracles and Heerenveen along the way, they have dropped their last two games, scoring zero goals and giving up eight goals.
Last Friday, in a painful 0-3 loss against Heerenveen, Almere City’s defense once again appeared hopelessly befuddled, allowing as many as eight shots on target.
They are currently fourth from the bottom in the Eredivisie standings, and they will have a very tough time turning things around in this Saturday night’s game against AZ Alkmaar.
AZ, who has only won one of the previous four league games, will be eager to respond, which will only make matters worse for the visitors.
They must avoid mistakes, especially at home against lower-tier teams like Almere City, to stay ahead of Feyenoord for second place, even in third place.
AZ has won five of its six home games this season and drawn one; therefore, we must give them a large advantage against this weak opponent.
AZ Alkmaar vs Almere City – Betting Analysis
In the two previous encounters between these two teams, AZ Alkmaar has emerged triumphant both times, with a score of 4-0 in both of those instances.
During the first triumph, which took place in a preseason friendly in 2016, the second victory took place in the second round of the KNVB Beker tournament the following year.
We don’t see Almere City’s defense escaping a disastrous loss on Saturday at AFAS Stadion since they have been disorganized for the past several weeks.
What are the best odds for this match?
In terms of the bookies’ odds in the win-draw-win market, backing AZ can be had for 1.19, betting on the draw is 7, and selecting the winning team to be Almere City gets you 13. Those are the best of the market prices offered at this very moment.
