Victories have not come easily for Jong PSV so far, and the same description fits Helmond Sport. These hardened teams have the opportunity for some much needed points here.

Insights:
  • Jong PSV have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored at home.
  • Helmond Sport have the fewest scored goals (2) away in Eerste Divisie

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Helmond Sport have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 4-5-8 (win-draw-loss) from 17 matches.

Jong PSV and Helmond Sport should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
