Jong FC Utrecht and Roda JC Kerkrade meet in the Eerste Divisie, with the hosts bottom of the table in 20th place on 7 points from 10 matches, while the visitors sit 6th with 16 points from the same number of games. Both teams need points from this game in different ways: the hosts want to escape the lower zone, while the visitors want to move up and cling to the top group. Jong FC Utrecht lost 1-2 in their latest match and have lost 2 in a row. Their defence is a clear problem, having conceded 23 goals in 10 matches. Roda JC Kerkrade, meanwhile, drew 1-1 in their latest match and are also without a win in 2 straight games, but their overall picture is much tighter, having conceded only 8 goals in 10 matches. The visitors' attack is not flashy, but their solid defence allows them to collect points consistently. This game is likely to be open and end-to-end from the start, because the hosts concede a lot early in games and must push forward for goals, while the visitors can score throughout the match. If either side scores first, the game could open up and finish with several goals. The first half may still be controlled, but the second half should see heavier attacking from both sides.
