Roda-Twente Statistical Preview

Probable Lineups

Team News

Roda

• Ruud Brood will be without central defender Bart Biemans, who was sent off in their draw to AZ last weekend.
• He could be replaced in the starting XI by the returning Kees Luijckx.
• Ard van Peppen is also available for selection, but Guy Ramos, Davy De Beule and Martijn Monteyne all remain sidelined.

Twente

• With the exception of long-term absentee Wout Brama and left-back Dico Koppers, there’s no missing players for FC Twente this weekend.
• Michel Jansen, not one to fix what’s not broken, is expected to name the same team that impressively won at home to NAC Breda.

Match Facts

• Roda have seen under 2.5 goals in 6 of their last 7 matches against Twente in all competitions.

Prediction

• Roda JC will be looking to build on their away to AZ last weekend after a last-minute goal by Vasil Skourtai saw them secure a 2-2 draw.
• The side from Kerkrade have only lost once in their last seven games and know it will be a challenge to go two successive matches unbeaten against a FC Twente side that has rediscovered its killer instinct.
