Head-to-head statistics Helmond - Willem II
Helmond Sport have suffered six defeats in their last ten matches
In their last Eerste Divisie match on 23 October 2026, Helmond Sport lost away to Jong AZ Alkmaar 4-5. The score was level at 2-2 after the first half, but Helmond ultimately lost despite outperforming their opponents in shots (21-14) and xG (1.86 to 1.19).
Helmond Sport are having a poor season in the second tier of Dutch football, sitting second from bottom in the table. Over their last ten matches, the team have won just twice, drawn two and lost six. The hosts do show a reasonably high scoring rate, averaging 1.8 goals per game. However, their defence has been considerably weaker, conceding 2.3 per match, which has prevented them from picking up positive results on a regular basis. Notably, Helmond Sport have been markedly more assured at home, going unbeaten in seven of their previous eight home matches.

Willem II: ten-match winless streak
At home against Cambuur on 24 October 2026, Willem II lost 1-6 in their last Eredivisie match. They had more of the attacking play and won 13 corners to four, but were outshot on target 2-11.
Willem II sit bottom of the Dutch top flight and arrive at this cup tie in wretched form. They have gone ten matches without a win, losing eight and drawing two. The defence has been particularly worrying over that run, conceding an average of 3.2 goals per game. The attack is managing one goal per match, which is nowhere near enough to compensate for the defensive errors. That said, Willem II do tend to find the net away from home: each of their last six away matches has ended with both teams scoring.

Corners Prediction
In 8 of their last 9 home matches, the total corners in Helmond Sport's games has not exceeded 10.5, pointing to a tendency towards a relatively low number of set pieces in their home fixtures. The trend is backed by a consistent run, and there are no significant conflicting data points on corners. With that in mind, a bet on Total Corners - Under 10.5 at 1.8 looks reasonable.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
Willem II come into this match as favourites, primarily due to their higher class. Despite unconvincing results in recent fixtures, they benefit from competing against stronger opponents on a regular basis in the league. Helmond Sport are reasonably solid at home, but the team's overall form raises questions: six defeats in ten matches point to serious difficulties. We believe the difference in class should prove decisive and help the visitors get the result. Our main prediction is a Willem II win.
