Jong Utrecht vs Helmond Prediction & Betting Tips (8 March)

Helmond have really rediscovered their mojo in recent times, winning ten of their previous 13 games at the top table of the Eerste Divisie and only dropping points against some games during this spell. Jong Utrecht, by way of contrast, have triumphed just once in 12 matches of late, and they were beaten 4-1 in this fixture last term.

Jong Utrecht had featured in 15 away games out of 21 in Eerste Divisie containing two goals or fewer, so achieving consistency had not proven too challenging in this area. For their part, Helmond have not been pulling up too many trees in terms of excitement on their own patch either, with nine of their last 12 matches producing under 2.5 goals.

At least one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet from five of the previous six Jong Utrecht home games in the Eerste Divisie, so thrillers have been few and far between at the home Stadium. As for Helmond, just four of their most recent 17 away matches at this level have produced goals at both ends, which doesn’t offer much hope.
