We’re of the view that Helmond Sport have it within them to breach the defence of this Roda JC Kerkrade outfit, although it probably won’t quite prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

We’re predicting both teams to score in a 2-1 victory for Roda JC Kerkrade when the full-time whistle blows. Could easily see this go either way.
