Telstar form and stats

4 victories, 4 draws and 6 defeats. That’s what Telstar have to build on here at BUKO Stadion in the Eerste Divisie. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Telstar to get some points in this home game.

The Telstar fans got no joy from their last match, a Eerste Divisie game also here at BUKO Stadion: A 1-2 defeat against De Graafschap (placed 2nd). Prior to that, an away loss at SC Cambuur.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (28 in 14 games), Telstar's attacking play is working. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Telstar have conceded 22 from these games.

Roda JC Kerkrade form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Eerste Divisie travels is 6 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats. Kerkrade are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played eight in a row without losing.

There were no winners in Kerkrade's previous match, a Eerste Divisie home game that ended 2-2 vs Jong Ajax (placed 12th). Before that one, a nice away victory 4-3 at FC Volendam.

Drawing 2-2 against Jong Ajax after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager J. Streppel needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.

Kerkrade has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 27 goals from 14 games. Roda JC Kerkrade's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 23 goals from these trips.

H2H stats regardless of arena (last six matches): Telstar two wins, one draw and Roda JC Kerkrade three victories.
