Telstar vs Maastricht Picks, Odds, and Predictions
Maastricht has been consistent enough this season to put pressure on the leaders, but they are still trailing for that coveted second place.
Under 2.5 Goals
Maastricht is one of the teams with the most ‘over’ games in the league, but they are traveling to Velsen-Zuid to face Telstar who are the team with the fewest matches with two or more goals per game.
Both Teams to Score – Yes
Three of the last five matches between these teams ended with both teams scoring a goal, and with the way they are defending it’s a good chance, this will happen again.
Draw
Maastricht’s away form could be a lot better than it currently is with only three wins out of eight matches. They are allowing two goals per game when they are playing away from their home turf. Telstar is undefeated in their last five home matches with a couple of draw games during that streak.
Telstar vs Maastricht Preview: Keeping the pressure on the leaders
Telstar
There is a big clutter of teams that are fighting to gain some momentum and move into the top eight to play for the promotion to Eredivisie, Telstar is one of those teams. But, the problem they are facing evolves around their goalscoring form, they have only 16 this season, and that kind of form won’t be good enough to give them a proper chance to play for the big prize. Looking at their striker’s options, Glynor Plet is their leading scorer with four goals followed by David Min with three. But, their form is not consistent, and without any other players getting involved with the scoring, it’s a big challenge for the team to have a good record. Telstar will be without Koen Blommestijn who is injured.
Maastricht
The team from Maastricht has been keeping the pressure on Zwolle who is the second-ranked team in the league, and to their credit, they are doing a good job. They did slip a step last week when they lost at Venlo, but that game was a derby match with Venlo a deserved winner. Maastricht needs to find a way to defend their goal more efficiently, out of all the teams in that crucial top eight rankings, the only team that conceded more goals is Venlo with 26 goals, while Maastricht allowed two less. On the other hand, they are the third-best goalscoring team in the league with 31 goals, but they are trailing Zwolle, and especially leaders Heracles by a massive margin. However, their attacking strength is their diversity at the forward position, their strikers Koen Kostons, Jarne Steuckers, and Ruben van Bommel all scored five goals, while Mart Remans is, at the moment, at four goals. Most of the team is involved with creating chances, and it will be interesting to see how the hosts are dealing with that fact.
