Helmond Sport form and stats

Helmond Sport's struggle is real here at SolarUnie Stadion with only 12 points collected from 13 Eerste Divisie games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-3-7. With eight home Eerste Divisie games in a row without a win, the Helmond Sport fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Jong Ajax game long ago, can be stopped today.

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Helmond Sport, who played 2-2 against Telstar. That match was also played at this venue (SolarUnie Stadion).

Heartbreak before that as Helmond lost 2-3 at Jong Utrecht's place.

With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Helmond Sport defense is not exactly impregnable. 24 goals conceded from 13 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
