FC Emmen U21 vs Almere City U21 tips and predictions

Visitors to suffer Divisie 1 U21 defeat

Both of these sides will be looking for the openings when they square off. Conventional wisdom says that when these sides meet they're likely to produce some goals. But that doesn't mean there's value in the prices.

What happens here is anyone's guess. If you think this is a foregone conclusion it's worth digging in to the data. Gun to head, the home side will win but if they're not at the races then who knows. They are still the pick to come through.

The hosts have bagged 1 win in their last 3 matches while the visitors have been defeated in 2 of their last 3 matches. That might not be suitable preparation.

This home squad is playing some lovely football and things are really coming together. FC Emmen U21 have scored two or more goals in 2 of their recent 3 matches.

Sometimes Almere City U21 have lacked foundations around their 18-yard box. They have conceded three or more goals in 6 of their last 13 matches. Shots on goal have been in short supply for them too. The attacking form shown by the visitors has been short of quality. They netted an average of just 0.7 goals in their last 9 matches.

To be fair, it won't be a surprise to see them end in parity. The sportsbooks expect goals at both ends of the park as they could be well matched. Whatever happens, with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that makes more sense this time around.
