Telstar faced defeat in their previous match, away at Heracles (0-7). The first setback in the shape of a defeat after collecting points through three league rounds. Telstar were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

FC Eindhoven are looking to quickly end their 509 minutes long goal drought in the Eerste Divisie.

Graafschap proved too strong as FC Eindhoven slumped to a 0-4 defeat in front of their own fans at Jan Louwers Stadion. FC Eindhoven lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.
