DDDLDL ⚠
After tasting defeat last time out to Jong Ajax in Eerste Divisie action, Helmond Sport and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.
In that match, Helmond Sport managed 53% possession and 5 shots on goal with 2 of them on target. For their opponents, Jong Ajax got 9 shots on goal with 4 on target. Dies Janse (85') scored for Jong Ajax.
The stats don’t lie, and Helmond Sport have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, letting opponents get 11 goals overall. Defensively, Helmond Sport can certainly do much better.
Their previous form shows that Helmond Sport:
- are undefeated by Den Bosch when having played them away from home in the previous 2 matches in the league.
- have not won away from home in their last 12 matches in the league. Their travelling support will be needed here, for sure.

Prediction
Den Bosch are likely to be able to create a good number of chances & successful shots on target.
Conversely, Helmond Sport could well struggle to break down their defence although we do think it’s probable that they will be being dangerous at times, too.
We’re therefore anticipating a comfortable 3-1 winning score for Den Bosch come full-time.
