Pre-match preview

Helmond Sport

Thomas Poll is expected to keep the left-back position after replacing Wassim Lantaki against VVV-Venlo. It was Poll’s first start of the season, while Lantaki did not play after starting each of Helmond Sport’s previous four matches.

There has also been regular rotation on the right of midfield. Joep van der Sluijs made his first start of the season there against VVV-Venlo and should retain the position, with Livio Cicero expected to move into a more advanced role. Dean Huiberts has started twice in the last five matches but is not expected to return to the eleven against Jong PSV.

Jong PSV

Jordy Bawuah has left Jong PSV after starting two of the club’s last five matches. Jasper Waalkens is expected to make further changes for the trip to Helmond Sport, with Tijn Smolenaars set to take over in goal after Khadim Ngom and Nick Olij shared the position across those five games.

Kyano Penso is expected at right-back, where he and Essien Bassey have both started recently. Boet Mulders could return to the eleven after being available but unused against FC Den Bosch, while Fabian Merién is expected to resume in central defence after four starts in the last five matches.
