Insights:
  • Telstar have the fewest matches over the total-line (11) in Eerste Divisie

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Eerste Divisie. That game was an away game at Almere City, so at least Telstar are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
