Helmond Sport hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 14 points and a 19th position in the Eerste Divisie table. Visiting Go Ahead Eagles holds 7th place with 28 pts.

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Eerste Divisie. That game was an away game at Jong AZ, so at least Helmond Sport are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
