Jong PSV (home)
- Stijn Schaars has set up his squad to play a high-tempo, possession-based system similar to the first team, which allows his players to develop in an environment close to the big club, while also allowing them to make strides in their own right.
- In the Eerste Divisie, Jong PSV have won five, drawn two and lost two at home, conceding an average of 1.33 goals per game. This season, the PSV Reserves vs Almere City prediction will be influenced by these home statistics.
- Jong PSV are 4th in the Eerste Divisie, having accumulated 31 points from 19 games.
Almere City (away)
- Almere City’s system under Jeroen Rijsdijk, on the other hand, has been to set up a more compact side and create a strong counter-attacking threat, something they have done with aplomb since his appointment in January.
- The visitors have won just three of their nine away matches in the Eerste Divisie, losing six, but have averaged 1.44 goals per away game. When looking for PSV Reserves vs Almere City betting tips, their strong away scoring record definitely stands out.
- Almere City are 8th with 26 points from 19.
- Almere are in better form, having won four of their last five Eerste Divisie matches.

Betting Insights
The Over 2.5 goals market looks like a very heavy favorite at 1.28 , but that’s because it suits both sides to attack and they’ve been involved in high-scoring games in recent weeks. Our PSV Reserves vs Almere City betting tips also suggest favoring the goals markets given these attacking tendencies.
Prediction
Jong PSV’s form is mixed, having won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five, so I’m backing Almere to take the narrow win with odds of 2.09 , while Jong PSV are 2.9 .
