Team News

FC Utrecht
Almere City FC
  • No fewer than seven players are missing for Utrecht this weekend. Among those ruled out is the injured Can Bozdogan.
  • There is just one Almere City player reported as injured or suspended heading into this weekend.

Prediction

  • Utrecht and Almere City will face off at the Stadion Galgenwaard on Sunday, with both teams on very different trajectories. Utrecht aim to extend their unbeaten streak in the Eredivisie to five matches, while Almere City are looking to break a three-match winless run.
  • Utrecht sits in third place with 42 points, six points behind second-placed Ajax, who hold a spot in the Champions League. Fourth-placed AZ are just five points behind Utrecht, who drew their last match 3-3 against PEC Zwolle at MAC³PARK Stadion, continuing their unbeaten streak.
  • In contrast, Almere City suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat to RKC Waalwijk at Yanmar Stadion in their last league match. This loss keeps them at the bottom of the table with 10 points, 11 points away from safety, and there are 14 matches remaining in the season.
  • In their previous Eredivisie encounter in December, Utrecht emerged victorious, winning 3-1 at Yanmar Stadion. Mike van der Hoorn opened the scoring for Utrecht in the 35th minute, followed by goals from Zidane Iqbal and Noah Ohio. Almere City's lone goal came from Logan Delaurier-Chaubet in the 86th minute.
  • This season, Utrecht have seen significant contributions from Paxten Aaronson, Yoann Cathline, and Ohio in front of goal. Aaronson is the team's leading scorer with five goals, while both Cathline and Ohio have added four goals each. On the other hand, Almere City's top scorers are Kornelius Hansen with two goals, and Junior Kadile and Joey Jacobs, each with one.
  • At home, Utrecht have recorded five wins, two draws, and three losses this season in 10 Eredivisie matches at Stadion Galgenwaard. They are currently on a four-match winless streak at home, dating back to December 2024 against PSV. Almere City, meanwhile, will be seeking their first away victory of the season, as they have suffered six losses and three draws on the road. They are also trying to end a 15-match away winless streak, with their last Eredivisie away win recorded in February 2024 against PEC Zwolle.
