Holland Eredivisie - De Graafschap vs Roda Kerkrade Football betting preview

I think this is the right time for Roda to take their first three pointer of 2008.

De Graafschap after a huge defeat (6:1) away to Sparta Rotterdam, counts now one month without getting a point, and they are back to 12th place of the league table. Four very bad results where they received 13 goals and scored only 2, pushed them away from first ten teams. As their coach said, the team is tired, as the roster is limited to a low number of players, so there is no space to rest players. First goalscorer Donny de Groot (18 matches, 8 goals) is doubtful to play tonight, while there is no other problems to the squad, and probably they will play with the same eleven like against Sparta.

Roda coming from a defeat away to strong Utrecht (3:1), the first for them after 40 days, in a game that the final score doesn't reflect the real perfomance of the teams. Roda was better nearly at all 90 minutes, but they received three goals from 31 to 37 min, with terrible defensive mistakes. Very interesting interview from Roda coach, who said that he will not accept anything else than a high win over De Graafschap. Their only absentee for Roda tonight is defender Marcel Meeuwis, with all other players in squad fit to play.

I think this is a very important game for Roda, that comes to a very good time after De Graafschap huge defeat, and they must take all three vital points to stay for the top 6 fight. Good Luck.
