MATCH PREVIEW
MAIN PREDICTION: HOME WIN
Helmond slumped to their third consecutive league loss last week and have still won only two league games in total so far, drawing eight and losing 13 this season. They were no match for leaders Twente, who put goals past them in the 11th, 34th, 49th and 60th minute. Diego Snepvangers scored a consolidation goal in the 70th minute, for his second goal this term, but the league match ended in a 4-1 victory for the home side. Helmond have been poor all season, but their upcoming league fixture against Dordrecht is the perfect opportunity to snatch three much-needed points.
Dordrecht clinched a hard-fought 3-3 draw at home against mid-table side Jong Ajax last time out and have now increased their tally to 15 points, one more than Helmond. Dordrecht went behind in the sixth minute before Jeremy Cijntje equalised eight minutes later. A further two Jong Ajax goals meant the visitors went into the break 3-1 up, but Dordrecht's Simon Power and Jari Schuurman scored their first goals of the season in the second half.
The visiting side booked their very first away win in league action when they were last on the road three weeks ago, but it was only a 1-0 victory over the one of the worst team in the league – Jong AZ Alkmaar. Apart from that, they have secured only three points from their other ten away league matches. This will no doubt be another difficult league fixture for Dordrecht and I think Helmond may edge it, especially given as they have won two and lost only one of their last three home league matches.
SECOND PREDICTION: HILO – HIGH
Helmond have conceded seven and Dordrecht have let in six goals in their last two league matches. I think we will be treated to an entertaining league match with many goals overall.
HEAD TO HEAD
Helmond are winless in their last three league meetings with Dordrecht, drawing one and losing two, but they had registered victories in all of the three league encounters before that.
