Roda JC Kerkrade
- Roda JC Kerkrade are 5th in the Eerste Divisie with 42 points from 27 matches.
- Roda JC’s form has been mixed across the last five (W2, D1, L2) but they did get an important away win at RKC Waalwijk last time out (2-1).
- Roda have won three, drawn five and lost five of their 13 home games in the Eerste Divisie, averaging 1.62 goals scored and conceded.
MVV Maastricht
- Roda JC are 12 points better off than 15th-placed MVV Maastricht.
- Maastricht’s form has been similarly poor with one win, two draws and two losses in the last five.
- MVV have a mixed record away in Eerste Divisie 2025-2026 (W3, D3, L8) scoring 0.86 goals per game and conceding 2.29.
Head-to-Head
- MVV have not managed a win in their last two trips to Roda JC.
- These two Limburg clubs are very different in their approach to soccer and this game should feature some end-to-end play and transition battles.
Roda JC Kerkrade
- Roda JC are a positive team who play an adventurous, possession-based brand of soccer with a high pressing game and a lot of vertical transitions.
- Anthony van den Hurk, the midfield dynamo, is the chief creator of these opportunities and has scored 12 goals in 25 league games this season.
MVV Maastricht
- MVV, on the other hand, are a more pragmatic side who set up in a 4-2-3-1 under Peter van den Berg.
- Ilano Silva Timas has five goals in 25 appearances this season but isn’t as effective or as creative as Roda’s midfield maestro.
Betting Insights
- The odds for this game don’t make much sense as MVV are long shots at 6.75, despite their poor away form, and Roda are the favorites at 1.4.
- There isn’t much to separate these sides so we’ll take the tie at 4.8.
- The Over 2.5 goals market at 1.42 looks good in this one, as Roda JC will push for the win and MVV are leaky on the road.
Prediction
- This game should feature some end-to-end play and transition battles with Roda faster-paced and MVV more structured and patient.
- A home win is most likely with Roda still in the promotion race while MVV are stuck in 15th with 30 points from 27 games.
