Helmond Sport and FC Eindhoven meet in the league with only two points separating them, and both are struggling near the bottom of the table. The hosts' last match was a 3-4 away defeat in the KNVB Beker, while the visitors also just won in the cup, 5-3. The two teams therefore come in with very different moods, but their league results have not been all that different. Helmond Sport have lost several league games in a row, but their attack is still working well and they score consistently. The defence is the main problem, causing them to concede more than they score. FC Eindhoven show a similar tendency: their defence is not solid and they had lost several league games in a row before winning in the cup. Both teams therefore have similar weaknesses. This game should open up from the start, as both need points to escape the danger zone. The hosts have the better chance of creating attacking play and should score first, but the first half may still be close and end with a scoreline that is not far apart, before the hosts take more control in the second half and close out the win.
