Telstar lost their last league match against PSV Eindhoven with a score of 0-1 and they will surely hope for a better result in this match. In that match, Telstar got 53% of the possession and had 14 shots on goal, 4 of which were on target. Telstar's goal scorer was Thomas Ould Cotter (56' UCL). For them, it was the sixth consecutive game in which they failed to prevent their opponents from scoring, during which they conceded a total of 11 goals.
However, looking at past results, Telstar have been unbeaten in their last two games against Venlo, but they have failed to win their last two home league games.
Venlo, on the other hand, got a 2-0 victory in their last match against Graves Sharp in the Dutch Eredivisie. In that game, Venlo got 53% of the possession and had 22 shots, 8 of which were on target. The goal scorer was Michalis Kosidis (33', 81'). Graves Sharp, on the other hand, had 10 chances on goal, two of which were on target.
Before this upcoming match, Venlo's offense has been playing well, scoring a total of 11 goals in their last 6 matches. However, their defense has also left something to be desired, as they have been broken down in 5 out of the same 6 games.
Looking at past results, Venlo are unbeaten in their last 3 away league matches, but they have not won in their last 5 away league matches.
In the all-time head-to-head record from December 2, 2016, Telstar has won 1 game, Venlo has won 3 games, and there have been 2 draws. A total of 17 goals have been scored in these matches, with Telstar scoring 7 and Venlo scoring 10, an average of 2.83 goals per game.
The last league match between these two teams was in the 34th round of the Dutch Eredivisie on April 21, 2023, with the final score of the match being Telstar 1-0 Venlo. The referee for that match was Clay Ruperti.
Based on the above analysis, we think that Venlo will need a great performance to take the game from Tirstad, who are likely to have the upper hand. We predict that the final result of the match will be a 1-0 victory for Telstar. This is going to be a very competitive game.
