However, the last time these teams met at this stadium was on 16‑09‑2022, in a match for the Eerste Divisie, Almere City won by (1‑2). The goals of the match were scored by C. Benschop (14' ), for De Graafschap, and by A. Limbombe (72' ) and L. Duijvestijn (67' ), for Almere. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, as both teams present significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis De Graafschap

After 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses, the home team is in the 15th position, havinf won 8 points so far. In the last match, they have tied in an away match against FC Dordrecht by (1‑1), after in the previous match they have won (1‑3) an away match against Jong AZ. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 3 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 18 goals scored and 22 conceded; against 8 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 25 goals scored and 12 conceded. For the league, De Graafschap won 4 points out of 12 possible points, after 1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses in the last 4 home matches. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in all of the last 7 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 5 of the last 7 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 6 of their 15 matches, and have only turned the score around in 1.

De Graafschap are unbeaten in their last three matches (one win and two draws) and boast the third-highest possession rate in the 2025-26 Eerste Divisie (57.6%). As a result, the side stand out as the second-highest in overall attempts (21.7 shots per game) and, more importantly, the team that hit the target most often (an exact average of 7 shots on goal per match). Defensively, however, there is concern as De Graafschap have conceded in all 7 matches played so far. Head coach Marinus Dijkhuizen has no reported absentees and is likely to stick with the previous starting XI in a 4-3-3 setup, with particular emphasis on midfielder and captain Reuven Niemeijer, the league’s most prolific shooter (an average of 4.4 attempts per game).

Confirmed Lineup: Ties Wieggers, Rowan Besselink, Kaya Symons, Othniël Raterink, Thomas Kok, Reuven Niemeijer , Jason Meerstadt, Teun Gijselhart, Bouke Boersma, Jevon Simons, Ibrahim El Kadiri.
Coach: R. Robbemond.

Analysis Almere

The away team is currently in the 14th position of the league, with 9 points won, after 3 wins and 4 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against ADO Den Haag, by (2‑1). In the last match, they won in a home match against Jong FC Utrecht, by (4‑0). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 20 goals scored and 26 conceded; against 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses at their stadium, with 21 goals scored and 26 conceded. In the last 10 away matches Almere has won 4, tied 1 and lost 5. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 5 of the last 7 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 5 of the last 7 matches for this competition. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 5 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 3 of their 7 goals between minutes (31'‑45').

Almere have lost their last two away fixtures but rank third in the 2025-26 Eerste Divisie for attempts on goal (an average of 17.4 shots per match). The side show considerable defensive passivity and stand out for being the weakest in ball recoveries, recording the lowest tackling rate in the league (13.3 per game). Head coach Jeroen Rijsdijk may adjust the previous starting XI, usually set out in a 4-3-3 system, with right winger Byron Burgering – the league’s second-highest scorer (6 goals and 1 assist in 7 appearances) – as the main threat. Left-back Teun Bijleveld remains sidelined through injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Tristan Kuijsten, Misha Engel, Twan van der Zeeuw, Boyd Reith, Joey Jacobs, Milan de Haan, Enzo Cornelisse, Guus Beaumont, Junior Kadile, J. Rijkhoff, Byron Burgering.
Coach: A. Pastoor.
