Short Preview

As Helmond Sport prepares to host VVV-Venlo on April 17, 2026, both teams come into the match facing challenges in their recent performances. Helmond Sport has struggled significantly, failing to secure a victory in their last five outings, which may affect their confidence levels. The team will need to find a way to leverage their home advantage, where they typically feel more comfortable, to break this streak.

On the other hand, VVV-Venlo has managed to scrape together one win in their last five matches, demonstrating a slight edge in form. Despite their struggles, VVV-Venlo will look to exploit opportunities on the counterattack, leveraging their pace on the wings and pressing high to disrupt Helmond Sport’s build-up play.
