Roda vs Jong AZ Prediction

Form check: steady Roda, chaotic Jong AZ

Roda have won eight, drawn seven and lost five of their last 20 matches, with 32 scored and 22 conceded. That's a reasonably tidy record, and a lot of their recent home games have been low-scoring and controlled.

Jong AZ's numbers tell a different story. Eleven wins and six losses from 20, but with 54 scored and 35 conceded, their matches rarely stay quiet. A 5-4 win and a 4-4 draw in their last couple of outings sum that up nicely.

Jong AZ's games tend to be far more open than Roda's.

Comparative Team Statistics: Roda vs Jong AZ

Head-to-head: Jong AZ have had the better of it lately

These two have met plenty of times down the years, and it's been fairly even across the long run. But the last three meetings have leaned Jong AZ's way: a 3-3 draw, then away and home wins for Jong AZ by 3-2 and 2-0.

That's a bit of a wrinkle given Roda's stronger current league position, and it suggests this fixture doesn't always follow the table.

League table: Roda well clear on paper

Roda sit sixth with 16 points from ten games, while Jong AZ are down in 11th with 14 points from 11. It's not a huge gap, but Roda are clearly the more settled side by table position alone.

Jong AZ's attacking threat

The player data we have is all about Jong AZ's forward line. B. Kovacs has four goals in six matches, and J. Oerip has chipped in three goals and four assists in nine. T. de Wit and J. Zwart have also been busy creating chances.

There's no equivalent breakdown for Roda's players here, so we can't say much about who's carrying their attack, just that their team numbers have been steadier overall.

Will the goals flow again?

Jong AZ's matches have averaged close to five goals a game recently, while Roda's have been closer to two. Put those patterns together and it's genuinely hard to predict whether this ends up tight or wide open.

The head-to-head history offers a bit of everything too, from 6-1 routs to 0-0 stalemates, so there's no strong pattern to lean on there either.
