Match Preview
Roda JC Kerkrade hosts RKC Waalwijk at the Parkstad Limburg Stadion on Friday evening in a matchup that could prove pivotal for both teams in the Eerste Divisie. Roda JC enters the fixture with a mixed bag of results, having won two of their last five matches but struggling with consistency, evident in their recent draw against FC Den Bosch. In contrast, RKC Waalwijk's form has been less encouraging, with just one win in their last five outings, highlighting their difficulties in finding the back of the net.
One key aspect to watch is Roda's home advantage, where they have historically performed well against Waalwijk, winning five of their last ten encounters at home. Additionally, both teams have shown a propensity for goals, with six of their last ten meetings resulting in over 2.5 goals. Given Roda's attacking capabilities and Waalwijk's defensive vulnerabilities, this match could see plenty of action, making the prospect of both teams scoring a likely scenario.
