VVV-Venlo host Roda JC Kerkrade in the Eerste Divisie, with the two teams level on 15 points from 8 matches and both sitting in the upper part of the table. This game is therefore a direct measure of who can climb above the other. The hosts have scored plenty all season (21 goals from 8 matches) but they concede a fair amount too. The most recent 2-3 defeat has made their recent form waver. Roda JC Kerkrade, meanwhile, arrive unbeaten in their last five, not scoring much but defending very solidly (only 5 goals conceded from 8 matches). The picture of the game is therefore likely to be the hosts dominating the ball and attacking, against a visiting side that sets up in an organised block and waits for the moment to counter. If VVV-Venlo can press from the start and break through first, the game should flow towards the hosts playing in the rhythm they like. But if Roda JC Kerkrade can hold their shape and keep the door shut for a long time, it may become a game where the hosts have to sweat more and more in the second half.
