- Helmond Sport haven’t played a single 0-0 game at home.
- Almere City have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
7 - 7 - 8 with 40-48. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Almere City when playing on artifical turf like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Almere City play their home games on grass so that's why we provide these numbers.
Helmond Sport form and stats
Helmond Sport have collected 14 points from their Eerste Divisie home games so far after 4-2-5.
The spoils were shared in Helmond's previous game, also at home. Visiting Telstar (placed 9th) travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline. Preceding that game was the away draw at MVV Maastricht that finished 1-1.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Roda JC Kerkrade are coming to town in three days.
Helmond Sport are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 11 games. It's worth mentioning that 10 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 17 goals have been conceded.
Almere City form and stats
6-3-2 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Almere City in their Eerste Divisie matches away.
Two away games in a row for Almere City, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-4 versus NAC Breda in the Eerste Divisie. That result followed a home victory 3-0 versus FC Dordrecht.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against NAC Breda was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.
Almere City has another fixture away, a Eerste Divisie game, against FC Oss in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
Almere City create on average more than 2,5 goals per away game (in the league) all by themselves, having scored 28 goals in 11 travels. For Almere, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
