Ajax Amsterdam Reserves

vs

Roda JC Kerkrade

Preview

Ajax Amsterdam Reserves

• Ajax Amsterdam Reserves haven’t had the best of campaigns to date with the club lying in a disappointing 19th spot with just 15 points from 22 league games played.
• Jong Ajax, who have won two and lost three of their last five matches, were able to bounce back from a home defeat to RKC Waalwijk with a 2-1 victory away at Jong AZ Alkmaar 3 days later.
• Jong Ajax have won just twice and drawn four of their 11 home league games in 2025/2026 (W2, D4, L5), averaging 1.27 goals scored and 1.64 goals conceded at home, suggesting the visitors have every chance of causing an upset on Monday.

Roda JC Kerkrade

• Roda JC, who currently sit fourth in the Eerste Divisie 2025/2026 table with 34 points from 21 matches, have been one of the sides looking to make a serious promotion play.
• The Limburg-based club have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five and recently suffered a penalty shootout defeat in the KNVB Cup, before beating FC Utrecht Reserves 3-1 away from home and drawing 0-0 with VVV Venlo.
• Roda JC have won six, drawn three and lost two of their 11 Eerste Divisie 2025-2026 away games.

Head-to-Head

• Roda JC have failed to win in their last two visits to Jong Ajax, however, suggesting the Amsterdam youngsters can be stubborn hosts.
• The last head-to-head meeting at Roda JC ended 3-3 and we could see something similar this Monday night if the hosts find their groove in what is typically a high-scoring affair for both sides.

Key Players

Betting Insights

• Roda JC Kerkrade are the favorites at 1.85 to beat the 3.7 odds on Ajax Amsterdam Reserves in the outright market.
• However, the visitors haven’t won in their last two away games against Jong Ajax and the hosts could get something from this game, so we’re avoiding the 1.85 price on the away side.
• The last head-to-head meeting at Roda JC ended 3-3, making the 1.55 price on the over 2.5 goals market appealing.
