The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Almere City are in the 9th position while the guests worry at 15th.
Roda JC Kerkrade could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a KNVB Beker game only three sleeps ago. That game, against SC Heerenveen, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Roda JC Kerkrade.
