Helmond vs Den Haag Prediction & Betting Tips

Helmond vs Den Haag Match Preview

Helmond welcome Den Haag in the Dutch Eerste Divisie with both sides building momentum in different ways. The hosts have tightened up at home, while the visitors have shown a sharper edge on their travels.

This clash brings together Helmond’s improving home stability and Den Haag’s increasingly productive away form, setting up an intriguing tactical battle.

Helmond Showing Greater Control at Home

Helmond travel back from a 1-0 win at Almere, a composed display that followed a 2-0 home victory against Den Bosch. Those two wins steadied the picture after heavy away defeats to Dordrecht 3-0 and Jong PSV 4-0 had exposed defensive gaps.

At home, Helmond look more secure. They are unbeaten in their last four league games on their own pitch. A 0-0 draw with De Graafschap and back to back 2-2 draws against Vitesse and Willem II show they remain competitive even when they concede. The 2-0 success over Den Bosch stands out as their most complete recent home performance.

Meetings at this ground have historically favoured Helmond. They have beaten Den Haag in the last three encounters here, including 2-1 in November 2024 and 3-2 in December 2023. That pattern suggests they are comfortable imposing themselves in this fixture.

Den Haag’s Away Form Carries Real Weight

Den Haag come into this match after a convincing 3-0 win over MVV Maastricht. That result followed another strong away display, a 3-0 victory at Roda, underlining how effective they can be when given space.

Their recent record shows variation. A 1-4 defeat at home to Jong AZ and a 0-0 draw with Vitesse highlight moments of vulnerability. However, three wins in their last five league matches show attacking consistency, especially on the road.

Away from home, Den Haag have won three of their last four league games. They scored four at TOP Oss, three at Roda and three at VVV Venlo earlier in that run. They have also kept clean sheets in two of those fixtures. That combination of goal threat and improved organisation gives them a strong platform heading into Helmond.

Helmond vs Den Haag Prediction

The leading prediction for this fixture is Den Haag win and over 2.5 goals at 2.00 odds. Den Haag’s recent away performances have produced high scoring victories, and Helmond’s home matches regularly feature goals at both ends. With the visitors scoring at least three in two of their last four away games and Helmond contributing in most of their home outings, this outcome is well supported by recent patterns.

Our recommended correct score tip is Den Haag 2-1 priced at 8.50 odds. Helmond have scored in three of their last four home league games, yet they have also conceded in each of those three draws. Den Haag’s attacking output away from home suggests they can edge a competitive contest while still allowing the hosts a goal.
