Nijmegen vs Roda Match Preview

Nijmegen is ranked at 6th place with 20 points and comes in a great form as they are unbeaten in the last five matches with three wins and two draws. Currently, they sit in the playoff zone and will seek to get another positive result here which would consolidate their position.

With 21 goals scored so far they have shown a decent attacking side, averaging almost two goals per game. And most of these goals came while playing at home as they scored 12 goals in five matches, managing to find the back of the net at least once in four out of five encounters. Since suffering two defeats in a row they have scored with consistency in the last six matches.

Roda, on the other side, is ranked at 12th place with 16 points and comes after a single win two draws and two losses over the last five matches. These poor results made them fall from the playoffs zone and now sit three points behind the 8th spot which is the last one that gives a playoff ticket. The good news is that after seven games without a win, Roda was finally back on track last week with a 2-0 victory against Maastricht and will try to build up on that now.

With 19 goals scored so far, they have the second best attack from the bottom half teams but they do not belong here. They will rely on their man of the moment Alberg, who already netted seven goals for them and one assist.

In conclusion, I think this match can have over 2.5 goals. Nijmegen is playing very good football right now and being at home here will give them some extra confidence to dare more, so scoring a goal is the minimum I expect here. Roda has got to try and avoid another defeat which would complicate their situation further.
