http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roda-JC-c40375 Kerkrade vs. FC Twente Enschede: Junker and Janko to shine – Dutch Eredivisie preview
Eredivisie action resumes after a one-week break, when Roda JC Kerkrade lock horns with FC Twente Enschede at Parkstad Limburg Stadion on Saturday, September 10.
Roda JC Kerkrade
The Pride of the South are coming into this match on the back of a demoralising 3-1 loss at the hands of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Utrecht-c39237 at Stadion Galgenwaard. The Utreg staged an impressive show in front of their home crowd and eased their way to all three points against Roda
JC.
After finishing sixth in the league table last term, De Koempels are struggling to achieve superior results this season. They are currently placed 13th in the league table with a lone point separating them from the danger zone.
Harm van Veldhoven, Roda JC manager, would be hoping that his troops stage a better performance in front of their home crowd. However, the tactician knows that it will not be an easy task to emerge victorious against one of the top Eredivisie clubs of this
era.
Furthermore, the trainer would be hoping that his side manages to hit the back of the net in the upcoming encounter, as his side has only scored three goals so far in their four matches this season.

The Tukkers are yet to lose a game this season – apart from their UEFA Champions League disappointment against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/SC-Heerenveen-c40463
and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VVV-Venlo-c40915.
The outfit from Enschede, however, received demoralising news last week, when their star winger Bryan Ruiz joined Fulham on the final day of the recently concluded summer transfer window. Nonetheless, the Enschede giants managed to lure http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leroy-Fer-c22126 to De Grolsch
Veste from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Feyenoord-c39258 Rotterdam.
Co Adriaanse, the Tukkers head coach, is looking unmoved with the departure of the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Costa-c9458 Rican ace, and believes that his troops will secure their fifth straight win of the season by thrashing De Koempels in front of their home crowd.
Head-to-Head statistics
De Limburgers have not managed to bag all three points in their last five encounters against Twente. The Tukkers won three encounters while two matches ended in stalemates.
Players to watch
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mads-Junker-c23039 – Roda JC Kerkrade
The veteran striker is not enjoying good form this season and has scored just a single goal from four appearances. The forward must put an overwhelming performance if he wants to see his side bag a point, or more, in this difficult home encounter.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marc-Janko-c23484 – FC Twente Enschede
The Austrian International is a star forward, one who strikes fear into the opposing defenders, and has made a stellar start to the 2011/12 season. However, with Ruiz now gone, he will have to shoulder the goalscoring responsibilities all by himself if Luuk
de Jong fails to find the back of the net.
Prediction
The home side’s poor start to the 2011/12 campaign puts the Tukkers as clear favourites in this encounter. The visitors will coast to an easy 3-0 win at the away venue.
