Jong Ajax (Youth) vs Helmond Sport
Jong Ajax is still trying to cut the gap to the runner-up position to welcome Week 16 of the Dutch 2nd Division. They will be challenged by Helmond Sport as host De Toekomst Stadium. The opportunity to appear on home turf will be used to minimize the difference.
Last Saturday (11/23) they had just visited Breda’s NAC headquarters. They won 1-2 in this match through goals from Noa Lang (45 + 1 ‘) and Brian Brobbey (85′). They are indeed more worthy of winning with 6 shots on target compared to 3.
The result also helped Jong Ajax occupy position 3 with a difference of four points from De Graafschap on it. In more detail, the visit also helped them convert the last 5 matches to 4 wins, scored 15 goals and conceded only 6 times. Therefore, they are very confident to welcome the match midweek later.
Elsewhere, Helmond Sport must recognize the superiority of NEC Nijmegen with a 1-2 position. They are still disappointed with the results because they conceded in 90 + 1 minutes’, even though playing at home.
The problem is, that defeat also made them fail to win since last month, now it is 1 draw and 3 losses. So, their position continues to sag, now to the order of 17 with only one point difference from TOP Oss who landed just above the caretaker’s position.
The visit to De Toekomst is predicted to worsen the problem. The reason is, they always lose for three consecutive seasons against the host, even making 4 goals and conceding 17 times. With a record of this contrast, Jong Ajax was once again favored to come out as the winner.
Our Prediction: 1
Odds: 1.15
