The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Telstar are in the 12th position while the guests worry at 14th.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Telstar and Jong AZ.

Overall Eerste Divisie stats at home this season for Telstar are 3-1-5 (wins-draw-losses).
Telstar's previous game was a Eerste Divisie match also played at home, ending 3-1 versus Jong AZ (placed 14th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Preceding that match was the home KNVB Beker game against Ajax that was lost 3-4.

Jong AZ form and stats
There's been little loot from Jong AZ's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 9 away games in the Eerste Divisie. Jong AZ only have 1 win to counter their 6 defeats and 2 draws.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Jong AZ, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-3 versus Telstar (placed 12th). Before that, Jong AZ travelled to Roda JC Kerkrade and returned home with a draw after the game finished 2-2.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Jong AZ playing away, we found six games. Results were 1 away win, 1 draw and 4 home wins.
Jong AZ have scored 13 goals on their travels this season, from 9 away games in the league. Jong AZ have conceded 19 goals in these games.
