REF’s picks

VVV Venlo bring an aggressive attacking style that has produced 21 goals in eight matches, making their team total a strong angle at home. Roda JC Kerkrade defend deep and concede very little, but stopping Venlo's potent frontline at De Koel will be a severe test. Defensive lapses can always expose Venlo on the counter-attack, yet their relentless pressure usually breaks through.

1. 1Venlo have scored 21 goals in their opening eight league fixtures, highlighting their reliable attacking output.
2. 2Roda boast a tight defence with only five goals conceded, presenting a genuine obstacle to this selection.
3. 3Home advantage at Seacon Stadion – De Koel historically pushes Venlo to take the initiative.
