🗞️ Team News: Helmond Sport

In an otherwise available group, there’s only the one fitness issue for the Helmond Sport boss Robert Maaskant to contend with. Michel Ludwig (Knee injury) won’t be playing here.

Helmond Sport and Jong Ajax could both find themselves scoring on more than one occasion in a potential goal-fest with little between the two teams.

Let’s see how it plays out, but we expect to see goals and there is to be a real possibility it will end up level. We’re therefore seeing a very even contest with a 2-2 scoreline at the end of the 90 minutes.
