RKC Waalwijk vs Helmond Sport Betting Tips

A couple of Dutch second division sides will look to boost their seasons by advancing to the next round of Holland’s Cup on Thursday night.

RKC and Helmond Sport are both currently in the bottom half of the Eerste Divisie after enduring indifferent starts to their respective campaigns.

Helmond Sport are win-less in their last three games after securing a couple of good wins early in the season. They’re a little vulnerable defensively, prone to lapses and conceding eight goals, while only scoring five through seven second division games so far.

Meanwhile, RKC has just one win through their first six games. They do have the attacking capability to exploit some of Helmond Sport’s defensive weakness, but they’ve not had much going defensively themselves. The match-up should set up an affair that includes a few goals.

Helmond Sport won 3-0 in the second meeting between the two teams in league play last season, while the other contest was a 0-0 draw.

Betting Tips

We just see this being a relatively openly played game between two teams that will be desperate to advance to the next round as a momentum booster as much as anything else. Helmond Sport’s defence hasn’t looked all that good and RKC are a team that can score but struggles at their own end of the field as well.
