Recent Form

Across their last 10 games, Almere City FC have gone 2W 3D 5L — a 0.90 PPG return. Last five: D W D L L. They are averaging 1.00 goals per game and conceding 1.60 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%).

Almere City FC at home: 2W 2D 6L from their last 10 home games — 0.80 PPG on home soil. At home they are averaging 1.00 goals scored and 1.80 conceded per game.

GO Ahead Eagles — last 10 games: 4W 3D 3L — 1.50 PPG. Last five: W W L D D. They are scoring at 1.70 per game and conceding 1.80. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%). Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.

GO Ahead Eagles's form when playing away from home: 2W 3D 5L across their last 10 road games (0.90 PPG). They are averaging 1.80 goals per away game — strong road scoring that makes them a threat even without home support. Both teams have scored in 70% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture. Their away PPG of 0.90 is notably below their overall 1.50 — form away from home has been a clear weakness recently.

Form points away from home here. GO Ahead Eagles's 1.50 PPG return is 0.60 points per game ahead of Almere City FC's 0.90 — the visitors are the form-based selection, and Double Chance is an alternative worth pricing if the outright looks tight.

Head to Head

There is little to separate the sides in our head-to-head data. From 3 H2H matches, Almere City FC have won 0, GO Ahead Eagles 1, with 2 draws — a balanced record that offers no clear steer on its own. With only 3 H2H matches to go on, treat this as a light input.

The 3 H2H matches in our data have been tight, averaging just 1.7 goals per game — a meaningful input for the Under 2.5 market. The most recent of those, on 23 Nov 2024, ended Almere City FC 0–3 GO Ahead Eagles — a GO Ahead Eagles win.

With a balanced win record and just 1.7 goals per game, the H2H data points toward a tight, low-scoring contest — Under 2.5 is the stronger head-to-head angle regardless of which side wins.

In-Play Data

Almere City FC trading profile (last 64 games, 31 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 64% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 61% of the time; of the 12 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 50%; BTTS occurs in 52% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 52% of games (home games); they fail to score in 41% of games.

GO Ahead Eagles trading profile (last 64 games, 31 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 71% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 81% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 62% of those occasions; of the 21 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 38%; BTTS occurs in 52% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 52% of games (away games).

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Almere City FC 45% versus GO Ahead Eagles 55%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Almere City FC 50% | GO Ahead Eagles 58%). There is an in-play dynamic worth noting: Almere City FC surrender their half-time lead 50% of the time, while GO Ahead Eagles have come from behind at the break to draw or win in 38% of cases — a combination that makes laying the hosts at HT a potential angle.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Almere City FC 1.35 xG and GO Ahead Eagles 1.98 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Almere City FC attack 0.750 / defence 1.318 | GO Ahead Eagles attack 1.167 / defence 1.108. League average goals — home 1.625 / away 1.289. Almere City FC's attack rating of 0.750 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 1.35. Almere City FC's defence rating of 1.318 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing GO Ahead Eagles's projected output up. Data: built from Almere City FC's last 64 games and GO Ahead Eagles's last 63.

Result probabilities: Almere City FC 26% | Draw 23% | GO Ahead Eagles 52%. Fair-value odds: Almere City FC 3.91 | Draw 4.42 | GO Ahead Eagles 1.93. GO Ahead Eagles hold a narrow Poisson edge at 52% — the draw (23%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 65% | BTTS Yes probability 64% | Total xG 3.33. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 65% — a total xG of 3.33 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 64% — both xG figures (1.35 / 1.98) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates GO Ahead Eagles as the most likely outcome at 52% — moderate model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 23% draw probability, Draw No Bet on GO Ahead Eagles offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

On the goals line, Poisson's 3.33 combined xG gives a 65% probability to Over 2.5 — mixed conviction, supported by recent form (Almere City FC's last 10 home games and GO Ahead Eagles's last 10 away games) averaging 3.3 goals per game — though the H2H data averaging only 1.7 goals per game across 3 H2H matches points the other way.

Poisson assigns a 64% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Almere City FC 50% (last 10 home games) | GO Ahead Eagles 70% (last 10 away games).
