Telstar vs FC Eindhoven Predictions

• Both teams scored and over 2.5 goals were produced in six of the last seven meetings between these two clubs.
• 7 pts and three positions separate the pair heading into Friday’s clash.
• Telstar haven’t kept a clean sheet in their last six attempts.
• Eindhoven have only kept one clean sheet in their last six matches.

Both teams have been letting in goals and scoring them on a regular basis

The last time these two sides met at this venue the points were shared and five of the duo’s last six encounters have produced over 2.5 goals and have seen both teams score, so you can see why we are expecting goals from Friday’s clash. The form of both teams was hit and miss towards the end of 2019 with Telstar picking up two wins, two draws, and two defeats, while Eindhoven lost three times drew once and won twice but remain in the KNVB Beker, unlike Friday’s hosts.

Both teams scored and over 2.5 goals were produced in five of Telstar’s and five of Eindhoven’s last six matches, competitive and non-competitive, and we believe more of the same will be produced when the pair lock horns this Friday. Telstar have outplayed Eindhoven so far this season but the hosts have only won one of their last four home games and the visitors are unbeaten in their last three away games (including the friendly against Lierse Kempenzonen).

A draw looks most likely for an Eindhoven side that hasn’t won many on the road this season

Telstar have dropped points in seven of their eleven home games in the league this season but Eindhoven have only won once on the road which is why we have backed a draw between the pair on Friday. The hosts average 1.27 points per home game which ties in well with our prediction for a draw on Friday, while Telstar score an average of 1.27 goals per home game and the visitors score an average of 1.20 goals per away game. Telstar’s home games produced an average of 2.45 goals which dips below our prediction for over 2.5 goals to be scored in Friday’s clash but that is more than made up for by Eindhoven’s average of 4.00 goals being produced in their away games.

Over 2.5 goals have been scored in 80% of Eindhoven’s away games so far this season while 45% of Telstar’s home games have seen at least three goals scored. Neither side boast strong defensive records in the Eerste Divisie this season, with the visitors failing to keep a single clean sheet on the road and the hosts seeing both teams score in 45% of their home games. Both teams have also scored in 70% of Eindhoven’s away games which suggests that the visitors pose a threat going forward but will provide their hosts with scoring chances of their own.

We’re confident that both teams will score and over 2.5 goals will be produced in Friday’s clash and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-2. Not much separates these two teams with each sat in mid-table at the halfway point in the campaign but recent encounters between the pair and the performances of both teams at the end of 2-19 suggest that we will see both teams score and over 2.5 goals in Friday’s match.
