Roda JC Kerkrade form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Roda JC Kerkrade so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-4 (win-draw-lose). Two points from the last two away games for Roda JC Kerkrade, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.

Kerkrade failed to get anything from their last game, a Eerste Divisie home match vs Go Ahead Eagles (placed 7th) that ended with defeat 0-3. Ahead of that game was the 2-2 draw at home against Helmond Sport.

The schedule is very tough for Kerkrade now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Eerste Divisie game at NAC Breda is waiting in only four days.

Kerkrade have scored 10 goals on their travels this season, from 8 away games in the league. Kerkrade have conceded 16 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last four meetings: zero - two - two (Jong wins - draws - Roda JC Kerkrade wins). As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one had two or less.
