Nijmegen vs Helmond Prediction & Betting tips
Unlike the winter weather, NEC seems to be able to stop on its way to her comeback in the Eredivisie. The Nijmegen team will count on nothing but three points when lowfielder Helmond Sport travels to the Goffert.
Nijmegen :
NEC has won nine of the last ten league matches and is on a collision course to limit the stay in the Jupiler League to one season. Only Fortuna Sittard seems to be able to threaten the people of Nijmegen at this moment for a place for direct promotion (Young Ajax can not promote after all). Number four de Graafschap follows no less than eleven loss points.
Last week, the game against FC Oss was canceled when the warm-up of both teams was already over. At the very last moment it was decided that the playing field in Oss had become unplayable due to the winter weather.
Despite the fact that NEC has had two weeks of rest, the team of Adri Bogers suffers from various injuries and pains. For example, Guus Joppen, Ted van de Pavert, Mohamed Rayhi, Robin Buwalda and Arnaud Groeneveld are not available against Helmond Sport. Gregor Breinburg seems to be fit enough to make his appearance.
Secretly Bogers will not be so sorry for this, because if everyone is fit, a true luxury problem arises. Jordan Larsson made an impression in the beginning of the season, but was later expelled from the team by Mohamed Rayhi. The Swede now once again gets the chance to show his skills. Steven Langil also issued his business card with the opportunity he received. The Martinikaan replaced against FC Dordrecht Arnaud Groeneveld and scored three times in the 6-0 victory. Behind it Boger Anass Achahbar still has a hand, a striker that many Jupiler Leagueclub would love to have.
Helmond Sport is in any case warned next Friday. Eight of the nine previous home games were won and only one was played equal. Only FC Emmen succeeded in bringing a point from the Goffert.
Helmond:
Helmond Sport is not doing well. Actually, the results for all of 2017 are already very moderate. In this calendar year, only seven games were won, of which two in January.
Because Helmond also won this year only twice, we find the team of Roy Hendriksen with eleven points from sixteen games back on the penultimate place, with one point more than the last team at the Young FC Utrecht. In the booth for the period title, the Brabanders even in the last place.
For Helmond it is also two weeks ago that a full match was played, because the home match against FC Eindhoven was canceled by the referee last week after 25 minutes. The last full match was played against RKC Waalwijk and lost 1-0.
At the moment Arne Naudts is one of the few bright spots at the Brabanders. The Belgian striker already scored seven goals this season, making him the top club scorer. He will most likely be flanked against NEC by Furghill Zeldenrust and Giovanni Hiwat. As a result Jordy Thomassen, the top scorer of last season with fifteen hits, starts on the bench.
