vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

The Eerste Divisie table offers no usable data yet for VVV Venlo and Roda, both still on zero matches played in the official standings: the picture instead comes from recent form and head-to-head meetings. VVV Venlo arrive off four wins in their last five matches: a 3-1 away win at Jong Utrecht on 18 September, preceded by a 3-1 home win over FC OSS on 11 September; further back a 2-4 away loss to Helmond Sport, and before that a 4-0 home win over Emmen and a 2-1 home win over De Graafschap. Roda, meanwhile, come off a goalless away draw at Jong Ajax on 18 September, preceded by a 1-0 win over Vitesse; further back a 1-1 away draw at MVV and, before that, a 2-2 home draw with NAC Breda. The recent head-to-head record tilts towards VVV Venlo: the last meeting, on 26 January 2026, ended 2-2 with Roda at home (played on the opposite ground to this fixture); on 24 August 2025 VVV Venlo won 3-1 on their own pitch, while on 29 March 2025, with Roda hosting, VVV Venlo won 4-1 away from home. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one. The data and assessments here are provided for information and statistical purposes.
