On Wednesday night, Den Haag hosts Roda JC at the Bingoal Stadion in the Dutch Eerste Divisie as both teams look to improve upon some underwhelming recent league form.
The home team have not enjoyed a great league campaign so far this season, picking up just 16 points from their opening 15 matches in the Eerste Divisie.
A 0-0 draw at Telstar in their last league outing means that Den Haag has failed to win in four matches. The draw ended a run of high-scoring games, as their previous five competitive games had all produced over 2.5 goals.
Den Haag must improve their home form if they are to push up the Eerste Divisie table, as they have won just one of their previous five league games on home soil.
Their biggest problem has been conceding too many goals at the Bingoal Stadion, as they have conceded at least two goals in four of their previous five home games in the Eerste Divisie.
The visitors are enjoying a slightly better league campaign than their hosts, although their recent form has dipped, as Roda has lost four of their last six games. Jurgen Streppel’s team has also lost four of their previous five matches in the Dutch second tier.
The fact that Roda has failed to score in three of their last four matches in the Eerste Divisie is a big reason for their poor recent results.
Roda have been woeful travellers in recent weeks, as they are winless in six away games in the Dutch second tier, having suffered four straight away defeats in the league.
They have also conceded at least two goals in each of their previous five away outings.
Forebet predicts that Den Haag will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter to move up the Eerste Divisie table.
