VVV Venlo vs Almere City FC Prediction - 24th April 2026

The Eerste Divisie fixture between VVV Venlo and Almere City FC presents a classic case of form versus history. Kickoff is set for 2026-04-24, and the data points strongly towards the visitors. Almere City FC currently sits 5th in the table with 58 points, while VVV Venlo struggles in 14th place with just 42 points. Analyzing recent form over the last 10 games, the disparity is clear. Almere has secured 6 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses, averaging 1.90 points per game and scoring 2.20 goals per game. In contrast, VVV Venlo has only 1 win, 3 draws, and 6 losses, averaging 0.60 points per game and scoring just 1.00 goals per game. Venlo's defensive record is particularly concerning, conceding 1.60 goals per game in their last 10 matches. Head-to-head records show VVV Venlo historically dominates this matchup with 7 wins to Almere's 1. However, the most recent meeting on 2025-11-24 ended in a 0-3 defeat for Venlo. This suggests the historical advantage may have evaporated. Furthermore, Venlo's home performance in the last 5 home games shows a 20% win rate, while Almere's away performance in the last 5 away games shows a 60% win rate. Goal expectancies calculated from the data suggest a total of 3.40 goals (Home 1.50, Away 1.90). While the Over 2.5 Goals market is priced at 1.44, the edge is marginal. The Away Win market at 2.40 offers better value given the form gap. Almere's attack averages 2.20 goals per game away, and Venlo's defense concedes 1.60 goals per game at home.
