Telstar form and stats

Telstar have less points than they have played home games in the Eerste Divisie so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 1 point.

A good away victory last time out for Telstar, who won 2-1 against Excelsior (placed 7th). Before that game, the home loss against MVV Maastricht with the scoreline 1-2.

World class coaching! That was the thoughts of A. Jonker when Yael Liesdek scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 86th minute. Some amazing scenes last match, when Yael Liesdek scored the winning goal five minutes into stoppage time.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Telstar handle that role? We have found three games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are three wins, zero draws and zero defeats.

There will be little rest for Telstar after this match as they are travelling to Jong PSV for a Eerste Divisie game in only four days.

FC Den Bosch form and stats

It's not happening yet for FC Den Bosch on their Eerste Divisie travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? With two straight losses from their last two away games, Bosch are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

FC Den Bosch go into this game after a win, the home game against MVV Maastricht that ended 2-0. A 1-2 defeat away at NAC Breda before that.

FC Den Bosch are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, four draws and three defeats. From a total of ten matches.

It's early days yet, but FC Den Bosch has scored 3 and conceded 6 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head
