Head-to-Head
- Almere City will play host to Roda JC Kerkrade in the Eerste Divisie on Friday in what could be a closely contested game.
- The head-to-head record has Roda at a slight advantage with 2 wins from the last 3 meetings.
- Almere have 1 win but they will be keen to add to this number after Roda's 2-1 victory away from home 8 months ago.
- This is a clash of styles with Almere's style of play and Roda's style of play being very different from one another.
- Almere play a very fast-paced 4-2-3-1 with plenty of direct play, vertical transitions and selective pressing.
- Roda like to press high and win the ball back quickly and maintain the high tempo, but this might backfire at Almere as the hosts will look to be clinical on the transition and when they get through the press.
Betting Insights
- Almere City come into this at 1.84 to get the victory and we are siding with the hosts to get back to winning on home soil.
- Almere will have the advantage of home field and can get the better of this match if they can control the pace.
Prediction
- They are likely to win this game as they are the home team and have the better form coming into the game.
- Roda's form isn't as good as Almere's and they are unlikely to win this one.
- If Almere control the pace and exploit transitions against Roda's high press, the hosts should be able to return to winning ways on home soil.
