Nijmegen vs Roda Prediction & Betting tips
NEC has had two weeks off and will resume the competition against Roda JC, which won again last week for the first time in a long time. Can Limburgers continue this trend?
NEC:
NEC played its last game on November 6. During the international weekend, the team from Nijmegen were free because the opponent during that round was Young PSV and in order to prevent competition falsification (after all, the U23 teams have many youth internationals) the match has been moved to next week. About Rogier Meijer’s team it can be said that it did not suit them so badly. After all, there was a corona outbreak in the selection in October and the affected players now have extra time to recover. During the last match (2-2 against Helmond Sport) Norbert Alblas, Javier Vet, Kevin Bukusu, Rens van Eijden, Anton Fase and Rangelo Janga were still missing, but they will be there again.
Janga, Vet and Van Eijden already made their comeback during the friendly match against VVV that was scheduled last weekend. The goals came from Bart van Rooij, Thomas Beekman and Vet.
With a victory over Roda JC, NEC retains the connection with the top places. The Nijmegen team is now sixth, with only five loss points more than the Graafschap and Cambuur Leeuwarden. Despite the bad result against Helmond Sport, NEC is in excellent shape. With six matches without a defeat, only FC Volendam can provide a better series. With an expected complete selection, Roda JC should certainly be for NEC.
Roda JC:
Roda JC played the derby against MVV Maastricht last weekend. The game occasionally hurt the eyes, but after ninety minutes Roda JC was the deserved winner. Not only was the arch rival won again after four encounters, the team of trainer Jurgen Streppel also ended a series of four games without a goal and eight games without a win.
The Church Councilors are still in the right-hand row and are performing far below their capabilities. It is actually shameful that the club, which invested heavily in the arrival of experienced forces such as Kees Luijckx, Stefano Marzo, Niek Vossebelt, Danny Bakker, Patrick Pflücke, Erik Falkenburg, Thijmen Goppel and Fabian Serrarens last summer, does not go beyond twelfth place.
Against MVV there was a win (by a long shot from Bakker and a used penalty from Roland Alberg) but the game was still not to write home about. For the time being, the Kerkrade team is still short of teams from the left row. The four victories were achieved this season against low-flyers TOP Oss, FC Dordrecht and thus MVV and Young Ajax, which at that time took office with the A youth.
