Roda JC vs Go Ahead Eagles Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Friday night’s Eredivisie action sees a crucial game in the fight against relegation. These two sides go head to head, with both picking up less than a point per game this season. That’s left both Roda and Go Ahead Eagles in the bottom four of the Dutch top flight, making them serious candidates for the drop. The hosts are second bottom of the table, can they claim a much needed win and move out of the relegation play-off spots?

It’s hard to see the hosts having much success here, as they’ve got the worst home record in the Eredivisie. That doesn’t bode well ahead of such an important game. Roda have claimed just 0.73 points per game at their own ground, which is certainly relegation form. They’ve managed to win just once at home all season, which has left them level on points with bottom side ADO Den Haag. Can they move away from trouble by turning the form book on its head?

Roda are still only two points off Go Ahead Eagles, despite their struggles for points at home. The visitors have just one victory away from home all season. However, that win did come in their last match on their travels, winning at NEC. They’ve claimed back to back victories in the Eredivisie, which has started to push them away from danger. That form should make them favourites for this game. Although, it is hard to really pick a clear favourite, as both have big problems when it comes to scoring goals.

The visitors have scored just 0.73 goals per game on their travels. They’ve also failed to score in 45% of their trips. However, Roda are in much bigger trouble, as they’re the lowest scoring team in the league. They’ve managed to find the net just seven times in their last 11 outings at home, failing to score in 64% of their matches at this ground. The hosts have scored just once in their last five games here, so they’ll struggle in a high pressure game on Friday night.

Roda have seen three or more goals in just 18% of their home matches this season. Go Ahead are unlikely to boost the goal tally at the Parkstad Limburg this weekend, given how goal-shy they are. We’re backing a low scoring encounter when these two meet, as we’re backing under 2.5 goals at 8/11 with bet365. We’re also backing a 1-0 victory for the in form visitors, which is priced at 10/1 with bet365.
