Roda JC vs Zwolle Predictions and Odds
Zwolle is on a four-game winning streak holding onto the second position in the league, but what follows is a tricky encounter against a very good Roda Kerkrade side.
Over 2.5 Goals
Zwolle was expected to demolish Helmond last week but managed to score only a single winning goal. However, against Roda, there should be much more open play and plenty of opportunities to score goals. Four out of their last five matches ended with more than two goals scored.
Both Teams to Score – Yes
In the same way, as it is with ‘over’ matches in their h2h duels, in four out past five matches these teams played, both squads scored at least a goal.
Draw
Roda is a good home team even though they lost their last two matches in front of their fans. Zwolle is the best away team in the league, but with a potentially high goalscoring affair in order, this might end in a points split.
Roda JC vs Zwolle Preview: The visitors are looking to protect their position
Roda JC
Roda lost two games in a row at home, even though the last one against Heracles by the score of 3-1 wasn’t all that surprising. A week later they are playing against the second of the top two teams, and again at home. Roda beat Zwolle in the last two games they played at home, but those matches were four and five years ago when both teams played in the Eredivisie. The Kerkrade team is still hoping that there is a chance they could find themselves in the elite company, and for good reason, they are in the midst of a battle for playoff placement. It is still very early to consider what will happen by the end of the season, there are plenty of games that need to be played, but they need to win important matches like the one against Zwolle. It’s a bit strange for Roda to have seven wins this season and be placed only ninth, but the reason for that is their loss column which also stands at number seven. For this match, Roda will be without its captain and central defender Nils Roseler because of injury.
Zwolle
The second-placed team has one of the largest squads in the Second Division with 33 players. That’s even more than most Eredivisie teams, and at the start of the season it seemed there could be problems with how to handle all these players. But, they are doing fine, coach Jurgen Streppel has done a fine job balancing the squad for a long season, a maybe that was the thing they needed. A large enough squad to have a good selection of options. It’s not for every team, but it works for Zwolle.
