A fixture with plenty of history

This meeting goes back well over a decade, with results swinging both ways over the years. More recently, though, Venlo have had the better of it, winning and drawing in their last three head-to-heads without losing.

That's not a huge sample, but it's a small nudge in Venlo's favour heading into another renewal of the fixture.

Where they sit right now

Venlo are third with 15 points from seven games, while Roda sit eighth on 12 points from the same number of matches. It's not a huge gap, but Venlo's extra wins have kept them closer to the top end of the table.
