Jong Ajax vs Helmond tips and predictions

Jong Ajax looking to extend run

A top-draw display of the home side's wide-ranging style should be impactful during this match-up. Conventional wisdom says that when these sides square off they're going to produce some goals.

With 12 points Jong Ajax take on 6-point Helmond. There are 7 positions between these two.

There's no dispute that Jong Ajax should start as favourites but there's nothing to get carried away with in the price. Without much confidence then, they are picked to get over the line.

The balance of power is overwhelmingly with Jong Ajax. A look at their win rates provides some evidence. The hosts have secured 14 home wins from their last 20 games while the travelling side has pulled up short at times. They've lost 15 of their last 20 matches. The stars are aligned for one more defeat here.

On their own turf Jong Ajax have looked comfortable on the ball. Their recent 9 home matches have them averaging an impressive 3.6 goals per game.

When tested away from home Helmond have actually conceded two or more goals in 10 of their last 13 matches. It's not likely they'll be reacquainting themselves with winning ways.

Jong Ajax have won 8 of the last 13 fixtures between these sides previously.

The betting markets imply that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match despite the favouritism for Jong Ajax. However, the odds-against for the BTTS No looks reasonable.
