The Eerste Divisie league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. FC Eindhoven and Roda JC Kerkrade are placed 6th and 3rd respectively.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

FC Eindhoven form and stats

Two Eerste Divisie home games so far for FC Eindhoven, who are yet to win here at Jan Louwers Stadion. Only 1 point so far.

Eindhoven enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Jong PSV's place. The match ended 2-1 with Kaj de Rooij and Jort van der Sande scoring. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Helmond Sport.

This is expected to be a close game, with FC Eindhoven perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with FC Eindhoven as a small favourite), we find five games. Eindhoven has won three of these, drawn one and lost one.

The manager E. Brandts will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to NEC in only four days.

At Jan Louwers Stadion, FC Eindhoven has the goal stats of 2-3 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.

Roda JC Kerkrade form and stats

Roda JC Kerkrade are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Eerste Divisie, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).

Kerkrade won their last game, 4-0 versus FC Dordrecht played at home. A 0-4 defeat away at De Graafschap before that.

As you can tell from the results above, Roda JC Kerkrade was very dominant against FC Dordrecht, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 4-0 (!) with Amir Absalem, Roland Alberg, Jordy Croux and Stefano Marzo providing the goals.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Kerkrade playing away and similar expectations, we found four relevant matches. Results were zero Roda JC Kerkrade wins, two draws and two defeats.
