Roda JC vs Jong AZ Predictions and Top Odds

Roda Kerkrade will play an all-important match against AZ Alkmaar’s reserve squad in their quest to break into the top eight of the Eerste Divisie.

Both Teams to Score – No

Even though Jong AZ has been proficient in scoring this season, that can’t be said about Roda. They had four out of the last five matches without both teams scoring a goal, and their lack of opportunities to score goals hurt their chances of progressing into a fight for playoff promotion. That is a strange circumstance for Roda because they have a player who is the league’s top scorer, Dylan Vente. He scored 17 times this season. Jong AZ had four out of the last five outings with both teams scoring a goal. When it comes to their h2h matchup, four games out of the last five they played ended with BTTS on the negative side.

Over 2.5 Goals

Despite the NO for BTTS in the first pick, the second Roda JC vs Jong AZ prediction will be going for more than two goals in a match. That goes in direct consequence of Jong AZ Alkmaar team having four from the last five matches with that kind of statistics, and even Roda getting it done in the last two matches they played. For the season, Roda had 15 over 2.5 goals matches while Jong AZ had 17. However, only one out of their last five h2h games ended with ‘over’ goals.

Half-Time Draw

Roda has a lot more to lose in this match than their opponents, and they are expected to try and figure out how to subdue their opposition’s better attack. Roda JC vs Jong AZ will be about the home team getting important points for the chance to break into the top eight of the rankings and giving themselves a chance of playing for promotion.

Team Information and Preview for Roda JC vs Jong AZ

Roda JC

With the season entering the final ten rounds of matches, it seems that the Kerkrade team is dropping in the level of form significantly. They have lost four out of their last five matches with the only win coming against the worst club in the league, Jong Utrecht. They are now facing another reserve team from the country’s best football systems, AZ Alkmaar. There are no injury concerns for coach Edwin de Graaf.

Jong AZ

The young AZ Alkmaar squad has been the best this season out of all reserve teams for the Top Division clubs which is something to ponder about. They are also the only one out of those teams to have a positive goal difference standing at 48-46. Goalkeeper Sem Westerveld is injured and won’t be traveling to Kerkrade.
