🔮 Prediction

We’re of the view that De Graafschap can see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.

In contrast, Helmond Sport won’t find it easy to get goals of their own but we can see them getting enough chances to score, too.

We’re therefore expecting to see a fairly comfortable 1-3 margin for De Graafschap at the end of the match.
