⚡ Prediction

Our thinking is that Helmond Sport have the firepower to find the net against this SC Cambuur lineup, however a single goal likely won’t prevent defeat.

Therefore, we’re predicting a close game with a 1-2 advantage for SC Cambuur by the conclusion of the game. Let’s see what happens here.
