Roda JC vs Maastricht Predictions

• The last twelve meetings between these two clubs have failed to produce a single win for the away side.
• Roda haven’t kept a clean sheet in their last five matches.
• MVV have only kept one clean sheet in their last five matches.
• Over 2.5 goals have been scored in three of Roda’s and four of MVV’s last six matches in all competitions.

Roda have a good record against their guests

Roda ended 2019 with a 2-0 defeat away at promotion-chasing Almere City while MVV ran out 4-1 winners at home to relegation battlers Helmond Sport. The visitors sit 2pts above Roda in the Eerste Divisie table and head into Sunday’s clash as the form favourites with two wins, one draw, and two defeats from their last five matches. However, MVV have been really poor on the road this season picking up just 4pts from their 10 away games to date, while Roda have picked up 12pts from their 10 home games.

The hosts haven’t lost at home against MVV in 8 matches and over the pairs’ last 17 encounters Roda have claimed 8 wins, 5 draws, and have only suffered 4 defeats. Roda average 1.20 points per home game and have a win rate of 30% while MVV only average 0.40 points per away game and boast a losing rate of 80%, so you can see why we are backing the hosts with a double chance bet this weekend.

MVV have not been playing well on the road this season

Roda score an average of 1.80 goals per home game and concede an average of 1.80 goals while MVV score an average of 0.80 goals per away game and concede an average of 2.40 goals, which ties in well with our prediction for a 2-1 home win on Sunday. Roda’s home games produce an average of 3.60 total goals and MVV’s away games produce an average of 3.20 total goals, which suggests there is a good chance we will see three goals scored on Sunday.

Over 2.5 goals have been scored in 80% of Roda’s home games and 50% of MVV’s away games so far this season, while both teams have scored in 90% of the hosts’ home games and 50% of the visitors’ away games, all of which adds further weight to our prediction for a 2-1 final scoreline. Roda have scored 18 goals at home so far while MVV have conceded 24 times on the road, which is why we are confident that Roda will come away with at least a point this weekend.

We’re confident that a double chance bet on Roda is the best way to bet on Sunday’s game and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1. Roda have a decent home record this season and have a very good head to head record against MVV, especially at home, while the visitors have performed very poorly on the road so far.
