Roda vs Jong AZ Prediction & Betting Tips (6 October)

Although their home ground can justifiably be accused of lacking atmosphere, Roda have not let that detract from recent performances, with the former champions enjoying four wins on the spin in front of their own supporters in the Eerste Divisie. As for Jong AZ, they clearly do not travel well, suffering nine defeats in 18 top-flight trips and winning only once along the way.

It would be fair to say that Roda are rarely involved in low-scoring encounters in the Eerste Divisie, as 13 of their most recent 15 matches have produced at least two goals. Given that nine of the previous 12 Jong AZ away games at this level have followed the same pattern, it would come as a surprise were this crucial contest not to deliver over 2.5 goals.

Over the course of their last 19 Eerste Divisie matches, Jong AZ have kept an impressive tally of 14 clean sheets, so finding a way through against Jong AZ can prove difficult. Given that just three of the most recent 13 top-flight fixtures involving Roda have served up goals at both ends of the pitch, it is hard to see much of a deviation from the script.
