Feyenoord vs. Telstar: Match Preview and Betting Tips

omidbasir- The match-up between the second-placed Feyenoord and seventeenth-placed Telstar promises to be intriguing, especially as the latter often earns praise despite its position. Telstar is under pressure to secure points; can they pull off another upset? Below are our betting tips for the Feyenoord – Telstar match.

The pressure is mounting on Feyenoord coach Robin van Persie, even though recent results have shown slight improvement with two consecutive wins against FC Utrecht (0-1) and Go Ahead Eagles (1-0). However, the recent victory highlighted that Feyenoord is not yet in top form, as the early red card for Deventer and a late penalty for Rotterdam played significant roles in determining the outcome. With NEC only managing one point from their last two matches, Feyenoord currently sits in second place, three points clear of both NEC and Ajax.

When it comes to away matches, Telstar is performing better than expected. Their season ticket holders have had little to celebrate at BUKO Stadion, as Telstar ranks last in home matches, four points behind NAC Breda. In contrast, Anthony Correia and his players have fared well on the road, losing five out of eleven away games while managing to avoid defeat in six others. Notably, Telstar is the only team to have defeated league leaders PSV (0-2). In their last six away encounters, they have lost just once, suffering a 4-1 defeat to PEC Zwolle.

One player to watch—and consider for betting—is Ronald Koeman Jr. The national coach frequently attends Telstar matches, primarily to observe his son, who has been excelling this season and has even attracted interest from Indonesia. With an average of 4.2 saves per game, he is among the most active goalkeepers in the Eredivisie, and facing a strong team like Feyenoord will likely put him to the test.

Regarding previous encounters, Telstar has not played in the Eredivisie since 1978, resulting in no match-ups with Feyenoord for decades—until last November. In that match, Feyenoord took an early lead through Ayase Ueda and Anis Hadj Moussa, but Kay Tejan managed to score for Telstar, ending the game at 1-2.

In terms of predictions for Feyenoord – Telstar, Feyenoord is naturally the favorite. However, it would not be surprising if Telstar managed to secure a goal in this away match. Betting on ‘Telstar to score more than 0.5 goals’ offers odds of 1.64 at Unibet.
