Matches between these two teams almost always produce goals. Almere City once thrashed FC Eindhoven 5-0 at home last year, but this time the game will not look the same, because FC Eindhoven are playing with more spark, and Almere City themselves have not won every match by a wide margin. Almere City sit 2nd in the table with 19 points from 9 matches, scoring 19 and conceding 7, making them the most balanced team in attack and defence among the top group, but their recent form has seen several wins by a single goal. FC Eindhoven are 13th with 11 points, their defence is leaky enough, having already conceded 19 goals, but their attack can still hit back at any time, especially late in matches when they often score. This game should open up from the start, because both sides have similar possession at around 44% and each has weaknesses in different phases. If Almere City cannot break through early as they have failed to do in several recent matches, the game could drag on into the second half, and there is a chance FC Eindhoven will score from a counter-attack or a set piece, which would keep the score closer than many expect.
