Roda JC Kerkrade are welcoming Jong AZ for another important game after their 0-2 result against 2nd-placed Jong Ajax.

3 victories, 2 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Roda JC Kerkrade have to build on here at Parkstad Limburg in the Eerste Divisie. The Roda JC Kerkrade manager J. de Jong might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
