Match preview: a clash at Parkstad Limburg Stadion
Roda JC Kerkrade welcome league leaders ADO Den Haag to the Parkstad Limburg Stadion on 06/02/2026 in what promises to be a lively Eerste Divisie encounter. The home side occupy fifth place with 39 points from 25 matches and arrive off a morale-boosting 2-1 win at Almere City. ADO Den Haag, despite a wobbly run of recent results, still sit top of the table with 53 points from 24 games and a remarkable goal return — 59 scored so far this season. Bookmakers make ADO the narrow favorite at around 2.00, with the draw at 3.65 and the home win trading near 3.35, setting up an intriguing market interplay between form, firepower and home advantage.
Recent form and season-long patterns
Roda’s recent results read like a mixed bag: wins against the likes of Almere interspersed with draws and defeats, leaving them with 10 wins, 9 draws and 6 losses. They have produced 43 goals while conceding 37, pointing to a squad that can both create chances and be vulnerable at the back. ADO Den Haag, conversely, have piled up 59 goals but also conceded 29, and their recent results include a heavy 1-4 reverse to Jong AZ, underlining a vulnerability despite their position at the summit. Both teams show a strong propensity for high-scoring encounters: Roda’s over 2.5 percentage sits around 68%, while ADO’s sits even higher at 83.3%. The season head-to-head earlier saw ADO run out 4-0 winners, a result that lingers in the memory and gives the visitors psychological currency heading into Kerkrade.
What the numbers suggest
Shot and attacking metrics favor ADO — they average over 20 shots per game and register higher numbers in dangerous attacks and corners, but Roda are no slouches offensively either. Clean sheet counts are moderate for both sides, and both teams have seen plenty of goals in recent matches. These data points point away from a tight, low-scoring stall; instead they hint at open play, transition moments and a real chance of multiple goals on the night. The bookmaker market’s endorsement of ADO as favorites is understandable, but the pronounced goal trends make the goals market particularly appealing.

Betting suggestion Based on both teams’ strong over-2.5 profiles this season, their attacking numbers and the season H2H that went 4-0, the best single-market suggestion is the goal market: back Over 2.5 goals. The data tilts in favor of an open game with multiple scoring opportunities, making Over 2.5 the most attractive and data-driven pick for this fixture.
