Helmond vs Jong Utrecht Prediction & Betting Tips (9 August)

Helmond have been cooking with gas on their own patch of late, recording 10 consecutive home victories in the Eerste Divisie, one of which was a success against Jong Utrecht in their last H2H meeting. Speaking of the visitors, they have not been particularly strong on their travels of late, suffering 10 defeats in 18 trips, so this test is likely to prove too severe.

Jong Utrecht ended the previous campaign with a bang, but they have not been the same swashbuckling side so far this season, as each of their last nine games has produced three goals or fewer. This has also been the case in 16 of the most recent 18 Helmond home matches at this level, including in 10 in a row of late, so under 3.5 goals are expected here.

Both teams have found the net in just two of the most recent 10 top-flight fixtures involving Helmond, so it is quite rare for this to happen when they take to the field. It has been a virtually identical story as far as Jong Utrecht are concerned, as 10 of their previous 12 matches at this level have seen at least one of the two keepers emerge with a clean sheet.
