Eerste Divisie: Telstar are 3 points after Jong PSV, but are psyched to go full throttle. Bring it on!

Insights:
  • Telstar have the most conceded goals (23) at home in Eerste Divisie
  • Jong PSV have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

The hosts Telstar saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the KNVB Beker. Thankfully the previous game, versus Spakenburg, was also a home game here at BUKO Stadion. The away team is better rested.

Telstar form and stats

With 1 Eerste Divisie win, 3 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Telstar are certainly not brimming with confidence. With Telstar having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager Jonker.

Telstar's last game was hosting Spakenburg (after extra-time) and winning 5-3. A goal frenzy last time out for Telstar, with a total of 8 goals in the match against Spakenburg (after extra-time). Fun stuff to watch!

Before that, Telstar played out a Eerste Divisie draw 1-1 when visiting FC Eindhoven.

This is expected to be a close game, with Telstar perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Telstar as a small favourite), we find six games. Telstar has won one of these, drawn three and lost two.

Telstar are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 9 games. Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Telstar having conceded 23 goals here at BUKO Stadion so far.

Jong PSV form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Jong PSV so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-5 (win-draw-lose).

Jong PSV lost away at FC Volendam (2-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Bakayoko, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.65. Bakayoko scored one goal, served one assist, hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times and had 35 successful passes (of 41 total).

A 2-3 loss hosting Graafschap before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Jong PSV playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were three Jong wins, three draws and four defeats.

Jong are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 13 away goals from 9 games (in the league). The Jong manager van Nistelrooy has some worries about the defense as 18 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

This isn't the first time these two teams face each other this season, as the history books show this recent game: Jong PSV - Telstar 2-3. Previous ten meetings between these sides: Telstar won two, Jong PSV triumphed in five and we saw three draws. five games with over 2,5 goals, five matches with less than 2,5 goals.
