Helmond Sport vs FC Eindhoven Predictions

FC Eindhoven’s Play-off hopes are unquestionably hanging in the balance after Friday’s disappointing 2-2 draw at home to Cambuur, however Blauw-witten will be confident that they can bag a decent haul of points from their final three league matches. They travel to Lavans Stadion on Easter Monday for a must win game against Helmond Sport, and they should encounter few problems against Rob Alflen’s side who have lost 13 of their last 15 fixtures.

Goals from Alvin Daniels and Elisha Sam put FC Eindhoven well on course for a huge three points at home to Cambuur on match day 35, however David Nascimento’s side were pegged back at the death and had to settle for a 2-2 draw.

The result leaves Blauw-witten 14^th in the table and four points behind the top nine with three games left, and they will likely need to win all of their remaining fixtures to be in with a shot at securing a Play-off place.

That task looks far from insurmountable though – FC Eindhoven do have a tricky fixture away to RKC on the final day however their next two assignments are against teams currently in the bottom three, with this Monday’s contest away to Helmond Sport preceding a soft looking home clash with Jong AZ.

And FC Eindhoven should win this one fairly comfortably, providing Friday’s disappointment hasn’t left a mark on Nascimento’s side.

The visitors have amassed 20 points from their last ten away fixtures (W6, D2, L2) and they come up against a Sport outfit who have lost four in a row and 13 from their last 15.

The hosts have been marginally more competitive of late and out up a decent enough effort in a 3-1 defeat at 2^nd placed Sparta on Friday, but they continually find wins hard to come by and FC Eindhoven should prove too strong.

Eindhoven bagged a 2-1 success at Jan Louwers Stadion in this season’s reverse encounter and we’re predicting the same scoreline here, with a two point stake recommended on the away team to come out on top again.
