5 victories, 2 draws and 7 defeats. That’s what Helmond Sport have to build on here at SolarUnie Stadion in the Eerste Divisie.

Helmond are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 2-3 away versus NAC Breda. Preceding that match was a defeat to NEC (0-7).

Jong Utrecht form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Jong Utrecht so far with only 13 points returning home. The records show 4-1-9 (win-draw-lose). Bitter travels for Utrecht as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the MVV Maastricht match. Three has not been a lucky number for Utrecht as they have been defeated three times in a row since the FC Dordrecht match.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Eerste Divisie home defeat versus Jong PSV with 1-6 on the scoreboard. Prior to that match, the Utrecht manager A. Plugboer faced defeat when travelling to Excelsior and losing 0-2.

As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Jong PSV was particularly ugly (1-6). The humiliation is still top of mind.

Jong Utrecht are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, one draw and four defeats. From a total of six matches.

Jong Utrecht find the net regularly in their away games. 19 goals from 14 away fixtures in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. For Jong Utrecht, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
