It's back home for Helmond Sport, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating VVV-Venlo away with the result 4-0. Schroyen, Kaars, Botos and Lorentzen found the net in that victory. Sweet to taste a league victory after three fixtures without one. As mentioned above, Helmond Sport "killed" VVV-Venlo in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency. Vlerken was "man of the match" with a rating of 8.21 out of 10. The defender Vlerken signed up for two assists, hit two key passes and won 5 of 7 duels.

Ahead of that match, Helmond Sport lost 1-2 at home to FC Groningen.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Helmond have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 6 games) they have won 0 times, drawn 1 and lost 5.

Helmond Sport are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 4 games.
