NAC Breda's sequence over the same run of games reads win, loss, win, draw, loss, loss, win. They've scored 13 and conceded 15, so goals have flowed at both ends for them too. Neither defence has looked settled recently.

Games involving either side this season have tended to produce goals rather than tight, low-scoring contests.

Comparative Team Statistics: Helmond Sport vs NAC Breda

Head-to-head record

These two have met a dozen times in league football stretching back to 2016, and it's been a fairly even rivalry overall. The most recent meeting, in January 2024, went to Helmond Sport 1-0 at home.

Scorelines have varied a lot across those games, from heavy wins to tight draws, so there's no strong pattern to lean on. With NAC Breda now playing at a different level following relegation, that older history carries less weight anyway.

Where they stand

NAC Breda currently sit 11th with 10 points from seven games, three wins, one draw and three defeats. Helmond Sport are just behind in 14th on 8 points, with two wins, two draws and three losses. It's a tight gap between the two, even though NAC Breda hold the healthier record on paper.

Helmond Sport have actually conceded fewer goals than NAC Breda this season, 12 against 15, despite the lower points total. That suggests neither side has been particularly leaky, but NAC Breda have been more open at the back.

A tight table position for both sides means there's little separating them on points alone.

Squad notes

P. Gladon has been NAC Breda's main source of goals, with four in his last six appearances, so keeping him quiet will matter for Helmond Sport. A few NAC Breda players — Van den Bergh, Nassoh and Greiml — have also picked up multiple yellow cards already this season.

Penalty cards:

J. Van den Bergh x 3

M. Nassoh x 3

There's no equivalent player detail available for Helmond Sport in this case, so it's harder to say who their key men are right now.

Gladon's scoring form makes him the player NAC Breda will look to for a way back into games.
