Almere City

Almere City has yet to give a good account of themselves in the Eredivisie this season, losing their last two opening games. They return to the Yanmar Stadion to make amends for their poor start. However, they were denied a maiden home win against AZ Alkmaar, losing 1-0 in a heated contest tainted by blatant misbehavior, which saw Baptiste Guillaume and Ricardo Visus receive their marching orders.

Instead of getting back on track, they were met with yet another unfavorable outcome, this time on the road, losing 3-0 against Fortuna Sittard. The last time they welcomed PSV Eindhoven to the Yanmar Stadion, they were on the receiving end of a morale-sapping 4-0 defeat, and they'll be looking to avoid the same outcome from happening here.

With no points on board, Almere City occupies 15th place in the Eredivisie standings and is hovering one place above the relegation play-offs. They are three points behind ninth-placed Ajax Amsterdam.
