This match features two teams living in the basement of the Eerste Divisie, Jong AZ holding 17th place and Helmond Sport lying 16th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
- Jong AZ has the most conceded goals (44) in Eerste Divisie
- Helmond Sport have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
Helmond Sport could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Eerste Divisie game only four sleeps ago. That game, against Roda JC Kerkrade, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Helmond Sport.
Jong AZ form and stats
Jong AZ's struggle is real here at AFAS Trainingscomplex with only 5 points collected from 7 Eerste Divisie games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-2-4. Jong are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at AFAS Trainingscomplex, having lost their two previous games here.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 219 minutes without scoring a league goal. T. Oosting was the last player to find the net.
Jong are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus SC Cambuur. Preceding that match was a defeat to FC Oss (0-1).
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Jong AZ have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found ten matches with the results: Won three, drawn three and lost four.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (14 in 7 games), Jong's attacking play is working. As for conceded goals, Jong AZ's unpleasant statistic is 21 goals surrendered. Jong's defense is seriously deficient as 21 goals have been conceded in these matches.
Helmond Sport form and stats
The visitors are W2-D3-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Eerste Divisie.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Roda JC Kerkrade (placed 9th) in their previous outing. The Eerste Divisie match ended in a draw 2-2. A 0-2 loss hosting Go Ahead Eagles before that.
Helmond's last match (vs Roda JC Kerkrade) ended in drama as all points looked lost at the score 0-2. They did not give up, fought back and in the end a courageous finish rescued a draw after 90 minutes thanks to a 90th minute equalizer by Jelle Goselink.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Helmond Sport playing away and similar expectations, we found one relevant match. Results were zero Helmond Sport wins, one draw and zero defeats.
Helmond have scored 9 goals on their travels this season, from 8 away games in the league. In the opposite end, Helmond have conceded 12 goals in their away games.
