Jong Ajax vs Roda Match Preview

Jong Ajax is ranked in 15th place with 23 points and comes after a poor run of results as they are winless in the last five matches collecting three draws and two losses. This season was expected to be a bit hard for them considering that some players were promoted to the first team of Ajax to replace the ones they sold.

Still, in terms of offense, they have been doing great as they have scored 34 goals so far with five goals over the last five matches while managing to find the back of the net in four encounters. Obviously, they could not get promoted so even if they were ranked in higher positions it would change nothing.

Rasmussen has been their key player in attack so far with 8 goals - 1 assist followed by Hlynsson with 4 goals - 4 assists.

Roda, on the other side, is ranked in 12th place with 25 points and comes not in their best shape either, after a single win a draw, and three losses over the last five matches. Currently, they sit five points behind the play-off zone but in case of a win here, they could shorten that to just two points.

With 28 goals scored so far, they have also shown a good offensive side, despite the fact that in the last five games they scored just three goals.

Their best offensive player has been Vente who is fighting for the title of the best goalscorer in the league with 13 goals - 4 assists followed by Limbombe with 4 goals - 2 assists.

In conclusion, I think both teams can score at least a goal in this one. Jong Ajax has got a bad defensive record this season but in attack, they know how to deliver. Playing at home in this one, I expect at least a goal by them. Roda will aim for the win here and I think they will play a lot in attack. They know their rivals lack a proper defense so they will have plenty of chances to punish them.
