We certainly expect a tight contest on Sunday between two sides who have struggled for large parts of the 2024-25 campaign thus far in what is a crucial game in the battle for survival.

Buoyed by their first displays under new management, we back Almere City to continue an unbeaten streak and take a share of the spoils with home advantage.

Jeroen Rijsdijk should field a similar Almere City starting XI to last week's draw with Groningen, with Hamdi Akujobi, Joey Jacobs, Theo Barbet and Vasilios Zagaritis bound to continue in a back four after consecutive clean sheets.

With no player in the squad having netted more than two goals so far this season, Charles-Andreas Brym should again lead the line after making his debut last time out, likely with support from Jochem Ritmeester van de Kamp, Thomas Robinet and either Junior Kadile or Adi Nalic.

我们当然期待周日两队之间的激烈竞争，他们在2024-25赛季的大部分时间里都在为生存而战，这是一场关键的比赛。

受到新教练的首次表现的鼓舞，我们支持阿尔米尔城继续保持不败，并以主场优势分享战利品。

里耶斯戴克应该派出与上周战平格罗宁根相似的阿尔米尔城首发11人，阿库约比、乔伊·雅各布斯、巴贝特和扎加里蒂斯在连续零封后将继续组成四后卫。

本赛季到目前为止，球队中没有一名球员打进超过两个进球，查尔斯-安德烈亚斯·布赖姆应该在上次出场后再次领跑锋线，可能会得到范德坎普、托马斯·罗比内以及小卡迪尔或阿迪·纳利奇的支持。
