Jong Utrecht have been all over the place. They thrashed Jong Ajax 6-1 at home in mid-September, then lost 1-3 away at NAC Breda and 1-3 at home to VVV Venlo within a couple of weeks. There's clearly some quality in the squad, but the defending has been leaky all season, with 41 goals conceded across their last 20 matches.

Roda look the more reliable of the two right now, even if Jong Utrecht can clearly score goals when they click.

Comparative Team Statistics: Jong Utrecht vs Roda

Recent meetings have favoured Roda

These two have met regularly down the years, going back to at least 2018, and the head-to-head has swung both ways over that stretch.

But the most recent results stand out. Roda won 3-1 at Jong Utrecht in December 2025 and were unbeaten in both league meetings last season, including a 1-1 draw at their own ground. It's not proof of anything guaranteed this time, but it's a pattern worth noting.

The table tells its own story

Roda sit eighth with 12 points from seven games, built on three wins, three draws and just the one defeat. They've also kept things tight at the back, conceding only five goals so far this season.

Jong Utrecht, by contrast, are down in 17th with seven points from nine matches. Six defeats already and a goal difference of minus six paint a picture of a side still finding their feet.

That gap in the table lines up with how both teams have actually been playing, not just bad luck.
