Excelsior vs Roda Prediction & Betting tips
In the battle for post-competition places, Excelsior and Roda JC battle in the Van Donge & de Roo Stadium to determine which team will get the points.
Excelsior:
Excelsior did not have a very good year last season under Ricardo Moniz and successor Marinus Dijkhuizen, but the latter was allowed to try it for the group at the start of this season. This year, Excelsior had to grow into the high-scoring team it already was, but it also had to become more defensively stable to really play at the top. After a series of six defeats, the club seemed to disappear in the right row, but De Ster van Kralingen has fought back in a nice way. The last four matches remained unbeaten in the Kitchen Champion Division.
Earlier this week, Excelsior had a bizarre week for a middle engine in the Kitchen Champion Division. After eliminating Helmond Sport, PEC Zwolle and MVV Maastricht, the team from Rotterdam had to compete in the quarterfinals against the number three of the Eredivisie, Vitesse. Despite the fact that the team from Arnhem was the better team throughout the game, Excelsior held up very well. Ultimately, thanks to a – much discussed rejected goal – and a goal from Loïs Openda in the 90 + 1st minute, it was still lost. Excelsior left the cup tournament with his head held high.
Roda JC:
The Limburgers had anything but a good season under Jean-Paul de Jong last season. Dark clouds hung over Kerkrade, while Roda JC competed for the bottom places in the Kitchen Champion Division. That was a sad situation for the club that was active in the Eredivisie for quite some time. That is why the expectation and hope was that the club would be promoted to the Eredivisie as soon as possible.
After 23 rounds of Keuken Kampioen Division, Jurgen Streppel’s team is in eighth place, putting the Limburgers in the post-competition zone. This is ultimately also the goal of Roda JC. With their acquisitions such as Dylan Vente, Ali Messaoud and Stan van Dijk, the club seems to be performing significantly better. For example, Roda JC was supreme against the low-fliers in recent weeks. Especially the German Patrick Pflücke made an impression in recent rounds with his involvement in five goals in the last three games.
