Jong Ajax (Youth) vs Roda JC
Jong Ajax will open a campaign this month with the role of host. They will face Roda at De Toekomst Stadium. Victory is also aimed at maintaining a positive trend.
They managed to close last month’s record with a narrow victory at the Telstar headquarters. However, the children were asked to play more alert because the hosts almost equalized to 3-3 because they conceded two goals in the last five minutes. These results also helped Jong Ajax secure the top 3 ranking, while increasing the unbeaten trend to 3 wins and 1 draw since early November.
On the one hand, the midweek tour will also be the first game for Roda in December. However, their conditions were far different after being crushed by a landslide score by Excelsior on home turf. A dramatic end, because the hosts had a quick lead in 4 minutes ‘but instead got beaten with a score of 1-4 through brace Joel Zwarts (13’, 88 ‘) and an own goal Pepijn Schlosser (25’).
For Roda, the disaster also added to the crisis since last month to 3 draws and 2 defeats. This bad graphic also throws them from the top 10 zone to number 14. In fact, last season they were beaten 5-1 when they performed at De Toekomst. So, do not rule out the possibility that the nightmare will be repeated to observe the trends of the two sides that are so contrasting.
