FC Dordrecht
- However, the hosts should have enough to come out on top when the two sides meet on Tuesday with Dirk Kuyt’s men well placed to dominate this clash with the home advantage and momentum.
- With a two-game winning streak under their belts, Dordrecht should be able to take all three points against a winless Helmond Sport side that have drawn four and lost one of their last five.
- Kuyt took over in July 2025 and immediately set about imposing his high-tempo, high-pressing game on the squad.
- The former Feyenoord starlet favours a two-striker system and has some good young talent to do it with.
- Kuyt's philosophy has certainly clicked in the last month or so with Dordrecht winning two games back-to-back - a gutsy 2-1 away win at Vitesse followed by a 3-2 home victory over FC Den Bosch.
Helmond Sport
- Helmond Sport, meanwhile, play a much more patient, possession-based game with a disciplined, physical edge.
- Maik Lukowicz is the main goal threat for them, but the striker is not quite in the same class as Eduardo.
- Helmond, placed 16th with 26 points from 24 games compared to Dordrecht’s 31 and 11th spot, took the opposite approach to their hosts when they appointed Jurgen Seegers in July 2025.
- Helmond have failed to win their last two away games (D1, L1).
Head-to-Head
FC Dordrecht have won four of their last five games against Helmond Sport , including a 2-1 away win three months ago .
Key Players
- They will be the aggressors throughout and that should open up space for players like Eduardo and Lukowicz.
- Eduardo has bagged 11 goals in 22 Eerste Divisie games, while Lukowicz has hit ten in 21.
- Eduardo has netted 3 of Dordrecht's last 7 goals, while Lukowicz has scored 2 of Helmond's last 4, so they could both find the net in an open game on Tuesday.
Betting Insights
- The 1.57 odds for over 2.5 goals probably represent some value, however, as Helmond have lost their defensive structure of late and Dordrecht will certainly force the pace and create plenty of turnovers.
- Bookies quote 1.8 for Dordrecht and 3.9 for Helmond.
- We are more interested in the Draw odds of 3.85 because this clash of styles should be fascinating and could certainly produce a draw.
Prediction
