Helmond Sport Roda JC betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This is the clash between the 14th-placed team and the second-placed team in the Eerste Divisie 2023/2024, but it's also the meeting between the seventh-best home side and the new best away side in the competition. Roda's form is unquestionably better as the team has won 3 of their last 4 matches, while Helmond has been defeated in 5 of the last 6 rounds. Additionally, in their last direct encounter on 11-08-2023, in the 1st round, Roda triumphed with a 4-1 score at their home ground. Taking all this into consideration, along with the strong defensive solidity of the visitors, who own the best defense in the league, we will place a bet on Roda with an Asian Handicap of 0.0. We anticipate good chances of the away team winning or at least securing a draw.

Preview
Helmond and Roda meet at SolarUnie Stadion, in a match for the 20th round of the Eerste Divisie. Roda JC Kerkrade got a home win by (4‑1), in the last league head‑to‑head, played in 11‑08‑2023. The head‑to‑head record at this stadium couldn't be more balanced, as it shows 1 draw and 2 wins for each team in the last 5 head‑to‑heads. Nevertheless, in the last head‑to‑head played at this stadium, on 10‑02‑2023, for the Eerste Divisie, Helmond Sport won by (1‑0). Hakon Lorentzen (8' ) scored the only goal of the match. The home/away factor is worth special atention, since although this is a match between 13th and 2nd of the league table, it’s also a match between the 6th best team in home matches and the 9th best in away matches.

Analysis Helmond

The home team is currently in the 13th position of the league, with 24 points won, after 7 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against MVV Maastricht, by (1‑2). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Willem II, by (4‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 7 points in away matches, with 13 goals scored and 20 conceded, against 17 points won at their stadium, with 16 goals scored and 11 conceded. In the last 10 home league matches Helmond has a record of 5 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 18 points out of 30 possible. In their home league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 1‑0 (4 out of 10 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 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. They have conceded the first goal in 6 of their 19 matches for this competition, and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 10 home matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 4 of their 11 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Helmond has fallen behind in the standings of the Eerste Divisie 2023/2024 after suffering 5 defeats in the last 6 rounds, with both teams scoring in curious fashion. The club is striving to recover, particularly from losses in the two most recent games. Belgian coach Bob Peeters has a dilemma in defining his lineup: German defender Pius Krätschmer exited injured in the early minutes of the last round. If he is ruled out by the Medical Department, his most likely replacement is Mees Kreekels. The main hopes for the Helmond fans lie in Wouter Van der Steen, the second goalkeeper with the most saves in the league, averaging 4.1 saves per match. Especially noteworthy is the striker Martijn Kaars, the league's top scorer with 16 goals, 6 of which were scored in his last 5 performances.

Confirmed Lineup: Wouter Van der Steen, Flor Van Den Eynden, Doke Schmidt, Mees Kreekels, Ioannis Foivos Botos, E. Ostrc, Michel Ludwig, Joeri Schroyen, Anthony van der Hurk, Martijn Kaars, Mohamed Mallahi.
Coach: R. Maaskant.

Analysis Roda

The away team is currently in the 2nd position of the league, with 38 points won, after 11 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Jong PSV, by (2‑1). In the last match, they won in an away match against FC Emmen, by (0‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 13 points in away matches and 25 at their stadium, with 21 goals scored and 6 conceded at home, against 10 goals scored and 7 conceded in away matches. In the last 9 away league matches Roda has a record of 3 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 13 points out of 27 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 7 of the last 9 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 19 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Roda comes in buoyed by victories in the last 2 games and needs another win to prevent Willem II from enjoying a comfortable 7-point lead in the battle for the Eerste Divisie 2023/2024 title. For this mission, they heavily rely on their incredible defensive solidity, boasting the league's tightest defense, having conceded only 13 goals, with just 7 of them coming in 9 away performances. Furthermore, Roda shares the league record for clean sheets, having kept 7 clean sheets in total. Offensively, they demonstrate a strong volume of shots, with averages of 15.9 attempts and 6.3 shots on target, ranking third and second in the competition, respectively. Coach Bas Sibum continues to grapple with issues in selecting his team: midfielder Orhan Dzepar has been absent since 02-11-2023 due to injury. The standout performer for the team is undoubtedly Koen Bucker, the goalkeeper with the fewest goals conceded in the league, averaging 0.7 goals conceded per match.

Confirmed Lineup: Loek Hamers, Brian Koglin, Boyd Reith, Matisse Didden, Teun Bijleveld, Sami Ouaissa, Walid Ould-Chikh, Rodney Kongolo, Wesley Spieringhs, Maximilian Schmid, Enrique Peña Zauner.
Coach: J. Streppel.
