WILLEM II- RODA JC ......


Roda tasted defeat for the first time this season last weekend, when they lost to AZ in a match that could have gone either way. Infact, this ended a 12 match unbeaten run.

In the previous game they recorded a fine 2-0 win over Ajax, Roda are playing with a lot of confidence and are determined to bounce back with 3 points in Tilburg. Four of their squad will be on very familiar ground, Marcel Meeuwis, Adil Ramzi, Elbekay Bouchiba and Kemy Agustien are all returning to their former club and are determined to win.

Agustien feels that the injuries to key players Mounir El Hamdaoui and Iwan Redan, will severely hamper the home side and is " convinced that we will leave Tilburg with three points''.
Willem are also without Baelum, Zois and Peersman and they look very short of goalscoring options, one of the other strikers has displeased the supporters by claiming, his heart is still with his former club.

Willem are conceding an average of 2.4 goals per game, some 1.6 more than, the very tight defense of Roda. Visitors have a good record here with just two defeats in 12 visits. Given their good form and the home team's problems, it is hard to see them losing.

4 points Roda level ball asian line 1.72.

Good Luck.
