Helmond are struggling to keep pace with the race for the playoffs in the Eerste Divisie, but their matches are extremely entertaining.

Only three of their 14 matches in the Eerste Divisie have finished level, and they’ve notably lost all six of their away matches - but have scored nine goals across these games, while conceding 17.

Helmond have seen BTTS & No Draw in each of their last four matches, losing three of these games. They travel to an Almere side who have seen BTTS & No Draw in four of their last five matches, including each of the last two.

None of Almere’s six home games in the Eerste Divisie have finished level, with Almere managing to win four of these games and seeing 15 goals in front of their own fans in total (2.50 per game).

These sides faced off back in March in a contest that produced five goals and saw BTTS & No Draw land with Den Bosch coming away 3-2 winners as the away side.

That game is part of a pattern across recent head to head meetings between these sides, each of the last five meetings have seen BTTS - with four of these games seeing BTTS & No Draw.

The main concern here is the volume of Waalwijk’s games that have finished level this season, but I’m willing to take that on given that none of Den Bosch’s six away assignments have finished level.

Those away matches have produced 18 goals (3.0 per game), with Waalwijk’s home games seeing an even more exaggerated output of goals (28 - 4.0 per game).

Volendam have seen this selection land in each of their last four matches, winning two and losing two of these games.

Their most recent assignment saw them run out 3-2 winners over Helmond - with both sides having seven shots on target in that game. It’s hard to get accurate xG data for the Eerste Divisie, but this is usually a good marker to fall back on.

Roda have seen BTTS & No Draw in each of their last two matches, falling to a 5-1 defeat at the hands of Heracles last time out. Heracles sit top of the league in the Eerste Divisie, so this game should be more competitive.

Only one of Volendam’s 14 matches in the Eerste Divisie this season has finished level. They’ve lost five of their seven matches on the road, seeing 27 goals across these games (3.85 per game).

These sides clashed back in May in a game that produced five goals and saw Volendam come away 3-2 winners. I can see a flip of that result here, given Volendam’s poor away record in the Dutch second division this campaign.

These sides are separated by just one point towards the bottom of the Eerste Divisie table, though De Graafschap do have a game in hand on their opponents - and a win here would put them right back into the playoff race.

Oss have only drawn two of their 14 matches in the Eerste Divisie this season, and have notably lost all seven of their away assignments. They’ve conceded 14 goals across these games, so a home victory looks likely and it’s about making the case for Oss to get on the scoresheet.

De Graafschap almost have just as poor of a record at home, winning just two of their six matches in front of their home fans and conceding 13 goals in the process (2.16 per game).

No side has picked up fewer points than De Graafschap at home in the Eerste Divisie this term, and only one of their six matches has finished level at home.
