Jong AZ and Helmond Sport meet in clearly contrasting form. The hosts have just drawn 4-4 at home in their latest match, while the visitors have just lost 0-2 at home and have lost two in a row. Jong AZ score consistently but also concede plenty. This season they have scored 26 goals in 11 matches, averaging almost two and a half per game, while Helmond Sport have reached sixteen goals and conceded 21. Their attack is therefore not as fearsome as a defence that allows opponents frequent chances. If Jong AZ take the lead first, the game should open up immediately, because Helmond Sport will have to push up and trade blows, and the space in the middle will become an area where the hosts can play through more comfortably.
