Telstar vs Helmond Prediction & Betting Tips (9 February)

Few people expected Telstar to be battling against relegation, but that is the reality facing a team that has suffered ten defeats in 13 games recently, not to mention the fact that they have triumphed only once at home all season. For their part, title-chasing Helmond have recorded seven victories in their most recent ten Eerste Divisie matches.

Both meetings between these two teams in the playoffs last season served up under 2.5 goals, meaning that Telstar have now been involved in seven consecutive matches of this low-scoring variety. As for Helmond, seven of their previous ten away games at this level have produced no more than a couple of goals, so don’t expect a feast of attacking football.

Both teams have found the net in just four of the most recent 17 Telstar home fixtures at the top table of the Eerste Divisie, whilst they have drawn a blank themselves in five of their last six Eerste Divisie games overall. As for Helmond, they have either kept a clean sheet or failed to score in five of their previous six away encounters at this elite level of the domestic game.
