Match Preview
Telstar is in a bit of a weird spot. They have grabbed 6 points from their last 5 outings, which is not world-beating, but it shows they are fighting. Anthony Correia has them playing a 3-4-2-1 that really opens up the game. Still, will it be enough?
Looking at the squad, Jochem Ritmeester van de Kamp and Patrick Brouwer are the ones to watch. Both have 7 goals this season. With Dion Malone definitely out and Nökkvi Thorisson doubtful, the pressure is on them to deliver. Can they find holes in the Sparta defense?
Telstar tends to be involved in high scoring games. In fact, 73% of their home games saw both teams scoring. It is almost like they refuse to play a boring match. Even so, sitting 16th in the league means they desperately need more than just style.
Sparta Rotterdam is a tough nut to crack, even if they have been poor lately. Maurice Steijn's men are 10th, but they have failed to score in their last two. Tobias Lauritsen is their main man with 11 goals, but he looks lonely up front sometimes.
They are missing Teo Quintero due to suspension, which is a massive blow for their backline. Without him, Shurandy Sambo and Bruno Martins Indi must step up. It is hard to feel confident when the team has only scored 3 times in their last 5 games.
Will the visitors finally find their rhythm? They sit 7th in the away standings, which is respectable. That said, Telstar’s desperation might just tip the scales here. We are leaning towards a home result in these Eredivisie Predictions to keep the relegation battle alive and kicking.
