Roda

Almere City FC host Roda in the Eerste Divisie. Almere have been winning regularly this season, while Roda's form has been steadier but less spectacular.

There's a bit of a contrast building here. Almere sit well up the table on the back of a strong run, yet Roda have actually won the last two meetings between these sides. That tension between current form and recent head-to-head history is worth digging into before deciding what to make of this one.

Roda's recent form reads differently. Three wins, three draws and a single loss in their last seven league games shows a side that's competitive but not quite finding the consistency Almere have. Their away form includes a draw at Jong Ajax and a win at Dordrecht, so they're not toothless on the road.

Almere's recent league form is clearly the stronger of the two, with far fewer slip-ups.

So while the table points one way, this specific match-up has recently gone Roda's way more often than not.

Roda's recent H2H record here is a reason not to assume Almere's current form guarantees anything.

Where they sit in the table

Almere City are second in the Eerste Divisie with 16 points from seven games, having won five and lost only once. Roda are eighth with 12 points from the same number of matches, built on a more even mix of wins and draws.

The four-point gap and four-place difference reflect the form both sides have shown, though it's worth remembering this is still an early-season snapshot rather than a settled picture.

Almere City look the stronger side on current form, sitting second in the table with only one league defeat in their last seven games. Roda are further back but not far off the pace, and they've had real success against this particular opponent recently.

With no market reference to assess and a fixture still some weeks away, there isn't a clean case to build a selection around here. It's one to keep an eye on closer to kickoff rather than call now.
