Times are rough for the home team, having gone 225 minutes without scoring a league goal. G. Plet was the last player to find the net.

Telstar are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-3 away versus MVV Maastricht.

Heartbreak before that as Telstar lost 0-3 at Jong Utrecht's place.
