This match features two teams living in the basement of the Eerste Divisie, Helmond Sport holding 17th place and MVV Maastricht lying 15th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
The hosts Helmond Sport saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the KNVB Beker. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Excelsior.
Helmond Sport form and stats
Zero (!) Eerste Divisie points is the sad result after 4 matches here at SolarUnie Stadion. Can it change today? The season ticket holders are starting to dread their visits here at SolarUnie Stadion, with the home team losing four in a row. They have not avoided a defeat here since the NAC Breda game.
Helmond lost their last game at Excelsior (placed 9th) after a 0-4 scoreline. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Telstar (0-2).
Helmond Sport were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
