RKC Waalwijk welcome Roda JC Kerkrade at Mandemakers Stadion, Waalwijk on Friday, Jan 15 at 8:00 PM in a Eerste Divisie fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

RKC Waalwijk come into this fixture in good form (3W 2D 0L recently). Roda JC Kerkrade travel drawing too many games (3D in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow RKC Waalwijk win or a draw looks most likely.
