Almere City vs Graafschap Prediction & Betting tips
2021 in the Kitchen Champion Division is kicked off with a top match. Almere and de Graafschap have to win to stay in the lead of Cambuur. Who can get the year off to a good start?
Almere City FC:
Almere had a very convincing first half of the season led by Ole Tobiasen. No fewer than twelve of the first seventeen league matches were won and only one loss was made. This was immediately a 7-2 visit to leader Cambuur, so this defeat hurt extra. Further blemishes on an almost flawless first months of the season were the draw against low-flyers MVV Maastricht, FC Dordrecht and FC Den Bosch.
The second place on which the Flevolanders are standing entitles at the end of the ride to direct promotion to the Eredivisie. The lead on number three de Graafschap is five points and with a victory at home, that gap can grow to eight points. Then Almere will be on pole position to play in the Eredivisie for the first time in history and that would of course be a dream start to the new year. Moreover, it can take revenge for 2018, when the Superboeren Almere blocked the way to the Eredivisie.
This season seems to be going quite well for the team. In the last game of 2020, Jong PSV was beaten in the 94th minute by a winning goal from Elias Sorensen. Another boost is that players like Sorensen, Balker, Emmers and Lesquoy, who had to miss the necessary matches in the first half of the season, are now fit again.
De Graafschap:
De Graafschap is on 35 points after seventeen games, five points less than opponent Almere and eight points less than leader Cambuur. In order not to lose sight of direct promotion (in case of a loss, the gap increases to eight points), a result must be booked in Almere. The last weeks of 2020 did not go too smoothly for the Super Farmers. Points were lost in four of the last eight league games of this calendar year.
The last game ended with an absolute highlight. During the 3-1 victory over Jong FC Utrecht, Ralf Seuntjens scored from the center line. It is expected that de Graafschap will be stirring in the transfer market this winter. Especially in the attack, something is allowed now that Georgios Mystakidis has already left and Sven Blummel is also on his way to the exit.
