Roda vs FC Eindhoven
Dutch Eerste Divisie
Date: 5 May 2023, Friday
Kick-off at 19:00 UK / 20:00 CET
Venue: Parkstad Limburg Stadion (Kerkrade).
FC Eindhoven returned to winning ways seven days ago when they dispatched the rock-bottomed Jong Utrecht 2-0 on the home patch.
It was a big win in a match completely dominated by FC Eindhoven as we could have easily seen many more goals in their rivals’ net on the occasion.
The team’s top scorer Charles Andreas Brym was the main catalyst for the win as he delivered a goal and an assist each in the first half of the affair to clear the path for an important three-pointer.
FC Eindhoven are now seventh in the Eerste Divisie table, sitting five points above Telstar in ninth.
They will be looking to make another big step towards securing the promotional playoffs on Friday evening when they Kerkrade to take on bottom-half Roda JC in Gameweek No 36.
Roda have not been pulling up any trees in the last couple of months. They have lost four and drawn one of the previous five Eerste Divisie affairs.
The latest of the failures happened six days ago when Edwin de Graaf’s men conceded four goals in a 4-2 defeat at the hands of NAC Breda on the road.
The hosts are 14th in the league table and they have already lost all hopes of making it to the playoffs.
Roda vs FC Eindhoven Head-to-head

- On another note, neither of the previous two H2H encounters between these two rivals brought a winner, including this season’s 3-3 stalemate at Jan Louwers Stadion.
- Both teams scored in six of the last seven head to head meetings between the two rivals.
