Telstar will be on the road to take Helmond Sport in the Dutch Eerste Divisie this night. Telstar are just outside the top 8. After winning their last match against Roda, they have a better chance than Helmond, who are further points below, of breaking into the top eight. I see Telstar coming out of this encounter victorious. But in the off chance of Helmond Sport putting in a good fight, a draw might settle it. These are the reasons for my prediction:

Firstly. Helmond Sport has been in a bad form throughout the season. They have struggled to create goal scoring chances all season. Helmond are currently placed on 15th position, having scored only 26 goals after 28 matches played. Their major reason for such failure is the complete lack of stability in the team, who have managed to lose 14 matches, which is half of the matches they have played in the championship. And they have managed to concede 43 goals in the 28 matches played so far. With such horrible performances, it will definitely be difficult for them against better opponents like Telstar.

Secondly. Telstar have the top 8 to fight for. They are three points within the top 8 positions. After the win recorded in their last time out, they are filled with belief that they can break into the top 8 positions. They have got something to fight for, unlike Helmond Sport. To make it to the top 8 positions, they know that they will need to earn wins especially against the teams from the lower rankings of the league table such as Helmond.

Thirdly. Telstar have good away record in the league. They have been one of the best away teams in the league this season with five wins and draws each, and four losses. They are not going to be fazed travelling to Helmond. They will be banking on his record to build up their confidence to know that they can get something out of this match.

So, I am going to put my money on Telstar to win this match against Helmond Sport, or get a draw as a worst case scenario.

特尔斯达今晚将在荷甲联赛中击败赫尔蒙德体育。特尔斯达在前8名之外。在最后一场对阵罗达的比赛中获胜后，他们比排名更低的赫尔蒙德有更好的机会进入前八。我认为特尔斯达会在这场遭遇战中获胜。不过，鉴于赫尔蒙德·斯波特有一点胜算，一场平局也许能解决问题。以下是我做出预测的原因:

首先。赫尔蒙德体育队整个赛季的状态都很糟糕。整个赛季他们都在努力创造进球机会。赫尔蒙德目前排在第15位，在28场比赛中只进了26球。他们失败的主要原因是球队完全缺乏稳定性，他们已经输掉了14场比赛，这是他们在冠军联赛中参加比赛的一半。到目前为止，他们已经在28场比赛中丢了43个球。如此糟糕的表现，对于他们来说，面对像Telstar这样更好的对手肯定会很困难。

其次。特尔斯达要为前8名而战。他们在前8名中领先3分。在上次出线取得胜利后，他们充满了冲进前8的信心。他们有奋斗的目标，不像《赫尔蒙德体育报》。为了进入前8名，他们知道他们需要赢得胜利，特别是对阵排名较低的球队，如赫尔蒙德。

第三。特尔斯达在联赛中有良好的客场战绩。他们是本赛季联赛中表现最好的客场球队之一，每场5胜4平。他们不会因为去赫尔蒙德而感到不安。他们将依靠他的记录来建立信心，知道他们可以从这场比赛中得到一些东西。

所以，我把钱押在特尔斯达赢下赫尔蒙德·体育，或者在最坏的情况下打平。
