Helmond vs Almere City Prediction & Betting tips
Almere City suffered its second defeat of the season last week and is therefore on the hunt for rehabilitation. This will not be so easy on Saturday, because Helmond Sport is in good shape.
Helmond Sport:
In recent years, Helmond Sport has become the ugly duckling of Dutch professional football with the unsurpassed status of being the last player in professional football in 2019 and 2020. Nevertheless, the club management kept faith in trainer Willie Boessen, a look was made of mercenaries from Mechelen to Brabant. and a few players were turned up here and there hoping for their last chance as professional football.
In February 2021, Helmond Sport is now fourteenth after a weak start to the season, with 26 points from 22 games. Not such a special number in itself, but especially the unbeaten run of the team is causing a sensation. The Brabanders have been unbeaten for seven games in a row and that has not happened since 2013. It should be noted, however, that no fewer than five of those seven matches ended in a draw, so that on balance the profit in the ranking has been limited.
The stars of the team are Karim Loukili (8 goals, 4 assists) and Lance Duijvesteijn (6 goals, 3 assists). Aaron Bastiaans was hired from VVV Venlo this winter for the wing positions. With the names mentioned, Helmond Sport has considerably more thrust in the front than in previous years. In no less than twelve of the last thirteen league matches, the Helmond team managed to find the net.
Almere City FC:
Almere City is working on a very strong season and hopes that this form will be enough for a debut in the Eredivisie. The team of trainer Ole Tobiasen has collected 50 points after 22 games and is therefore second, a place that entitles the player to direct promotion. However, the closest pursuer de Graafschap has only three points less, which means that Almere can no longer afford slips like last week in Breda.
Almere City has only lost twice so far, but this has always happened with large numbers. On a visit to Cambuur, the team lost 7-2, and last week the team in Breda got an earwash with 4-0. The Flevolanders had no chance and have to prove that this defeat was an incident.
To reinforce the promotion aspirations, Almere lured Fortuna Sittard midfielder Jorrit Smeets to the club with a 2.5-year contract. The left winger John Yeboah also comes from Willem II. The team was still a bit meager in these positions and there was still something in the front after the departure of Shayne Harrison. Tobiasen did not comment on the set-up yet, but it is obvious that some changes will be made after the earwashing in Breda.
