Despite being in poor form, the bookies see AZ Alkmaar as a clear favorite.
AZ are on a losing streak, having won just one of their past six matches in all competitions. They have secured just one victory on the road since early November.
Almere City, on the other hand, most recent victory snapped a three-game losing drought, and they will try to extend it this week.
They have two victories and one tie in their past three home league games.
We say AZ Alkmaar will secure a tough victory here.
Everything indicates that we will see a high-scoring match.

Almere City will meet AZ Alkmaar at the Yanmar Stadium on Saturday in the 20th round of the Eredivisie season.
The home side have had a promising run of performances in their maiden Eredivisie season and seems to be on track to escape relegation.
In their most recent league encounter, they defeated Excelsior 2-1.
Almere City is 12th in the league rankings, with 23 points from 20 games, and will try to add to that total this weekend.
AZ Alkmaar, however, have failed to impress this season, triggering the departure of head coach Pascal Jansen following a successful three-year tenure at the club. The guest’s new manager, Maarten Martens, has had a slow start, with the club losing 1-0 to Feyenoord in their previous Eredivisie game and then 2-0 to the same opponents in the Dutch Cup this midweek.
AZ are fourth in the Eredivisie standings with 35 points. They will now try to shake off their recent defeats and return to winning ways on Saturday.
