With their 4 point advantage in the league table, Telstar fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Helmond Sport.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Helmond Sport form and stats
As the visiting team in Eerste Divisie matches, Helmond Sport have produced an overall stat of 2-1-1 so far.
Helmond's previous game was their home loss versus Graafschap (1-2). Ahead of that match was the victory versus FC Den Bosch at their stadium, the result 2-1.
It's a bit worrying for Helmond that their goalkeeper Stijn van Gassel made eight saves in the Graafschap game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Helmond Sport manager W. Boessen as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Excelsior.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Helmond Sport have scored 4 goals in 4 league games away. As opposed to that, Helmond have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.
