General match analysis
Almere City sit 4th, while De Graafschap are 17th, and the visitors’ season record stands at 2 wins and 1 draw with no defeats, alongside a 7:2 goal difference. The hosts have failed to win any of their last three matches, conceding 8 goals, while their record over the last five games is 0 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats. De Graafschap’s biggest issue is their defensive performance at home: they concede an average of 5 goals per match with opponents’ xG at 2.45, and they have yet to keep a clean sheet. Almere City score an average of 2 goals away from home, register 6.5 shots on target and concede just 0.5 goals per match. Although the hosts create plenty of chances, averaging 2.10 xG and 22 shots, the visitors’ significantly more stable defense and superior finishing efficiency, 11% compared with 9%, point towards an away win.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The BTTS - Yes pick is primarily supported by De Graafschap, with both teams scoring in 100% of their matches this season and also in 100% of their last five fixtures. The hosts are highly vulnerable defensively: they have conceded 13 goals in their last five matches, an average of 2.6 per game, while Almere City have produced an average of 1.61 xG during this period. Almere City should also create plenty of chances, averaging 17.5 shots and 6.5 shots on target per match, while the season-long xG against De Graafschap is as high as 2.23. On the hosts’ side, the case for a goal is supported by the absence of any scoreless matches, as well as averages of 1.4 goals and 1.67 xG across their last five appearances, although Almere have conceded only 1.0 goal per game during this period. The visitors’ defense and their 50% clean-sheet rate this season reduce confidence, but the high league-wide BTTS rate of 73% and the hosts’ defensive weakness give a clear edge to the Goal/Goal scenario.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
The strongest pick is Over 1.5 goals, as both teams have surpassed this line in 100% of their league matches so far.

View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
The strongest scenario is a draw at half-time followed by an Almere City win, as neither team has led at the break in the current data, while a level score after 45 minutes occurred in 80% of the visitors’ and 60% of the hosts’ last five matches. Almere City averaged just 0.2 goals before half-time and failed to score in this period in 80% of their last five matches, limiting the likelihood of an early lead. After the break, the visitors score an average of 1.2 goals, while De Graafschap concede 1.4, and Almere City’s second-half goal difference stands at +3 compared with 0 for the hosts. The visitors’ advantage is also supported by their superior season xG, at 1.91, compared with De Graafschap conceding an average of 2.23 xG, as well as 17.5 shots per match compared with the hosts’ 9.0. In their last five matches, Almere City averaged 1.4 points and won 40% of their games, whereas De Graafschap failed to win any, making a second-half turnaround in favor of the visitors the most logical outcome.
