Almere City analysis

Almere City have a negative goal difference, having after 9 rounds conceded 21 goals to opponents and scored 4. An average to improve.

It appears that Almere City is encountering difficulties in scoring goals, as evidenced by their low number of goals scored and the high number of games in which they have failed to score. This could imply that their attacking play is lacking in quality and they need to work on creating better chances.

The average shooting on goal for the Almere City team in the league is not the best. There are only 3.67 per game. This turns out to be another good indication that the team does not usually score many goals or give much work to the opposing goalkeepers.

Logan Delaurier-Chaubet's life is not being easy in this beginning of his trajectory for his new club. Hired for this season, the player has not been performing well, a fact that was repeated in Almere City last game.
