Helmond Sport form and stats

Helmond Sport have played 13 Eerste Divisie games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-2-5 (wins-draws-losses). When Helmond Sport hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Jong Utrecht, FC Den Bosch, FC Dordrecht, TOP Oss, Helmond Sport and Jong Ajax), they have won 3 of 5 matches! Hopes of three in a row are alive for Helmond after consecutive victories at their own ground.

In their previous game, the manager Peeters led his Helmond Sport to a defeat away at De Graafschap. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at SolarUnie Stadion. The first setback in the shape of a loss after collecting points in three league games. Midfield player Lieftink got a match rating of 6.82 in that game, the max score being 10. Lieftink dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against Jong Utrecht.

This is expected to be a close game, with Helmond Sport perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Helmond Sport as a small favourite), we find 8 games. Helmond Sport has won 4 of these, drawn 2 and lost 2.

Trench warfare? Looking at this club's last 13 league games, 11 have contained zero, one or two goals.

The Helmond fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 13 matches. 16 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Leysen was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.5. The defender Leysen scored one goal and won 5 of 7 duels.
