The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Roda JC Kerkrade are in the 10th position while the guesting FC Den Bosch worry at 16th.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Roda JC Kerkrade and FC Den Bosch.
Roda JC Kerkrade form and stats
When playing at home in the Eerste Divisie, Roda JC Kerkrade have managed 2 wins, 2 draws and suffered 0 defeats from 4 games. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
The Kerkrade crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-2 to Fortuna Sittard here at Parkstad Limburg Stadion in a KNVB Beker match. Prior to that, an away loss at SC Cambuur in the Eerste Divisie.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Kerkrade matches with similar probabilities have ended with three wins, one draw and zero defeats (from four games).
The Roda JC Kerkrade manager J. Streppel has got the team scoring with 9 from 4 home games in the league. As for guarding their own goal, Kerkrade have only let in 2 goals at home.
FC Den Bosch form and stats
The manager E. van der Ven is not happy with the away performances in the Eerste Divisie so far, as all 4 matches have been lost. Bitter travels for FC Den Bosch as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Graafschap match.
Bosch aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 221 league minutes without a goal. F. Helstrup (own goal) was the last player to find the net.
FC Den Bosch play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 2-4 to VVV-Venlo. Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Excelsior.
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for FC Den Bosch, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Bosch playing away, we found two games. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and two home wins.
The visiting Bosch have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 4 goals from 4 games. There are big problems for the Bosch defense as they have conceded 14 goals in 4 away games.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last eight meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Roda JC Kerkrade, one draw and four wins for FC Den Bosch. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: five games.Top Goalscorers
