Ajax II Helmond Sport betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 11^th position of the league, with 46 points won, after 12 wins, 10 draws and 13 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against VVV‑Venlo, by (4‑1). In the last match, they tied in a home match against SC Cambuur, by (1‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 3 draws and 9 losses in away matches, with 19 goals scored and 36 conceded; against 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 24 goals scored and 19 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Helmond has a record of 3 draws and 7 losses, so they have won 3 points out of 30 possible.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 11 away matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away mathes there is a tendency for goals, since 13 of the last 17 matches for this competition have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 35 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 11 times and have only turned the score around in 2.

Helmond are only playing their part in this final stretch of the Eerste Divisie, as they no longer have a chance of qualifying for the playoffs. Elimination came with their current poor run of six games without a win (four draws and two losses in that period). In terms of away games, Helmond have failed to win in 11 matches (3 draws and 8 defeats in their most recent away games). In fact, they have the third worst defense among the league's visitors (35 goals conceded in 17 games) and are generally the third worst tacklers in the league (16.1 tackles per game). To compensate, Helmond is the third most fouled club in the competition (average of 14.1 fouls per game). Even so, they have the third worst clean sheet record (they've finished without conceding a goal in just 7 matches). Coach Robert Maaskant could change his starting line-up, based on a 4-3-3 tactical formation, depending on whether the club's medical department will clear Moroccan defender Redouane Halhal, who came off injured during the second half of the last match. If he is ruled out by the doctors, the tendency is for German Tobias Pachonik to replace him. Right-back Sem Dekkers has been injured since March 14, 2025. The highlight of Helmond's squad is striker Anthony van den Hurk, a native of Curaçao (15 goals and 3 assists in 32 games).

Confirmed Lineup: Wouter Van der Steen, Flor Van Den Eynden, Jonas Scholz, Tobias Pachonik, Amir Absalem, E. Ostrc, Alen Dizdarević, Helgi Fróði Ingason, Anthony van der Hurk, Lennerd Daneels, Sam Bisselink.
Coach: R. Maaskant.
