Telstar

LWLWWL

Telstar will be looking for an improved result here after a 5-1 Eerste Divisie loss in their previous game against De Graafschap.

In that match, Telstar had 44% possession and 10 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Telstar was Alex Plat (18'). For their opponents, De Graafschap had 14 attempts on goal with 7 on target. Simon Colyn (30'), Xandro Schenk (40', 91'), Donny Warmerdam (84') and Tristan van Gilst (93') scored for De Graafschap.

It has not been often in recent games that Telstar have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The facts show that Telstar have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, shipping 11 goals in the process. Regardless, it remains to be seen whether such a trend will be maintained in this game.

Looking at their past form shows that Telstar:

• have not beaten FC Emmen in their previous 3 matches in the league.
• are unbeaten in their previous 8 home league matches. A very good run at home.

FC Emmen
