Both teams are showing unstable defensive play, which often leads to productive goal exchanges. Helmond has regularly conceded in friendly matches, while Emmen has already participated in "productive" matches in official games of the new season. This indicates the vulnerability of both opponents' defensive lines. Helmond, playing at home, will be forced to attack, which will open up space for the visitors to counterattack. Emmen, in turn, shows a willingness to score in away matches, but rarely keeps a clean sheet. The teams also regularly exchange goals in face-to-face meetings
