Telstar (home)
- Telstar have lost their last 2 matches, including a 1-3 defeat to Fortuna Sittard at home, a result that factors heavily in our Telstar vs Go Ahead Eagles prediction.
- Telstar have failed to win any of their 3 Eredivisie home games so far this season (D1, L2).
- Telstar are 17th with 4.
- Telstar coach Anthony Correia has also had time to make his mark on the club since he took over in July 2024, opting to set his team up in a more compact 4-4-2, where they are tough to break down, but will also allow their players to attack with numbers in fast vertical transitions.
- Correia’s game plan has been effective in keeping the team organised, but Telstar have lacked a clinical edge in the final third and they have also been leaking goals, which is a key consideration in the Telstar vs Go Ahead Eagles betting tips for this week.
Go Ahead Eagles (away)
- Go Ahead Eagles have won their last 2 Eredivisie games, including a 3-0 victory over FC Volendam and 0-2 win at PEC Zwolle.
- Go Ahead Eagles are 9th in the Eredivisie table with 9 points from 6 games.
- This Telstar vs Go Ahead Eagles preview will highlight that this game is likely to test Go Ahead Eagles’ away record, which is unbeaten after 3 games (W1, D2).
- Go Ahead Eagles coach Melvin Boel has been able to implement his flexible 4-2-3-1 system since taking the reins in July 2025, where the Eagles can sit deep and defend in a compact block before pressing at the right moments and then transitioning at pace, especially down the flanks.
- Boel’s Eagles have been in top form recently and they should travel to Telstar with confidence.
