[b]Roda JC vs AZ Alkmaar [/b] 19:30 (GMT+1)

Roda no.7 host AZ no.11 today in Kerkrade. I don't expect a full stadium tonight, and the visiters will have a good chance.

Roda are very strong this season and their goal is participation in the playoffs of the dutch league. However AZ has the same goal, but they are not actually direct rivals if we look at the league rankings.

This is a match between solid and strong Roda vs struggling AZ, AZ who only booked one victory in 2008! Butt here is the deal,

I have seen improvement in AZ's play in the last two matches. I think their confidence will be much higher compared to that during their bad streak. They still need to get back to winning days, butt I think maybe that moment is today against Roda. The players are much more calm and I

think they are starting to play as a team again. So I don't expect them to loose tonight it will atleast be a draw.

It all depends of Roda, Roda played a mid-weak cupmatch away against 2nd division team Dordrecht. Roda won the match 1-3, but I have seen the way they performed and they were not that good. Lady Luck was on their side. AZ had all week to prepare for this match, and I think they will have a surprise up their sleaves. Roda; With a midweek match in their legs and a visit from a AZ who is showing symptoms of high team moral and winning intensions I will go with the AZ handicap.
