Jong Ajax

LLLLDL 📉

Jong Ajax will be looking for an improved result here following a 2-0 Eerste Divisie loss in their previous game against De Graafschap.

In that match, Jong Ajax managed 46% possession and 6 attempts on goal with 2 on target. De Graafschap had 21 attempts at goal with 5 of them on target. Jack Cooper-Love (2') and Donny Warmerdam (5') scored for De Graafschap.

It has been all too rare in recent games that Jong Ajax have kept a clean sheet. The reality is that Jong Ajax have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 13 goals in the process. That trend won’t necessarily be continued into this game, of course.

Taking a look at their past results, Jong Ajax:

• haven't won against Helmond Sport in their last 2 matches in the league.
• have not won at home in their last 5 matches in the league. Things will have to change soon.

Helmond Sport

ℹ️ Team News: Helmond Sport

Out of a mainly available squad, there is only the sole fitness worry for the Helmond Sport gaffer Robert Maaskant to be concerned about. Michel Ludwig (Knee injury) won’t be playing here.

🧠 Prediction

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.
