Best Tip: Both teams to score

Here we have a pair of effective, attacking groups going head-to-head and, as such, we are predicting both of them to score at least 1 goal during the 90 mins. Can respective managers Hedwiges Maduro or Robin van Persie deliver a defensive plan that will shut out the opposition? Recent form stats and historical head-to-heads, as well as the latest odds from the bookmakers, suggest that's unlikely.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Almere City are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 39% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 3.00.
