Roda JC Kerkrade lost their last game at Almere City (placed 10th) after a 1-2 scoreline. The first setback in the shape of a defeat after collecting points in four league fixtures. Douglas was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.62 out of 10. The defender Douglas served one assist, hit three key passes and won 3 of 9 duels.

Preceding that game was the away draw at FC Eindhoven that finished 3-3.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Kerkrade's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 7 games, won 5 matches, drawn 2 and lost 0.

Both teams score at least one goal! That has occurred in 6 league games in a row for this club. Could it happen again?

The Roda JC Kerkrade fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 6 goals in 4 league matches. Roda JC Kerkrade have conceded 6 from these games.

VVV-Venlo form and stats

The visitors are W3-D0-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Eerste Divisie.

It's the second away game in a row for VVV-Venlo, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus NAC Breda (placed 8th) last time out. That win felt nice as this team had gone three league games without victory. The attacker Johansson got a match rating of 8.04 in that game. Johansson scored one goal, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Telstar.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of VVV-Venlo when being an outsider away as they are today, we find 7 matches with the visitors losing 4 times, drawing 0 and winning 3 games.

Will both teams score? This team's most recent fixtures suggest that, having completed 6 league matches in a row with one or more goals from each team.

VVV-Venlo have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 9 goals from 4 away matches.

Head 2 Head

Statistics for the former ten meetings featuring these two sides are: five wins for Roda JC Kerkrade, three draws and two wins for VVV-Venlo. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.
