"Starting with the hosts, while Telstar might have only made their Eredivisie return this season, the White Lions are universally regarded as a landslide relegation contender in 2026. Sat rock-bottom of the table and looking like they will lose their top-flight status with a whimper, Anthony Correia's men have also recorded just a sole Eredivisie victory since the end of September."
"Last seen over the weekend putting in another worrying display as they slumped to a 4-1 drumming at the hands of Zwolle, the former Katwijk boss will also have a major headache over his side's extended defensive struggles. Getting the New Year underway with an action-packed 3-2 loss at home against Dutch giants Ajax, Telstar have mustered just a single clean sheet from any of their last 11 matchups across all competitions - a run that stems back to November 7th."
"As for the visitors, while the Go Ahead Eagles might have made real history last season as they booked a European ticket, Melvin Boel's side have drastically failed to find any kind of stability this time around. Watching their Europa League adventure come to an end last week, the Overijssel-based outfit have continued to show some rather glaring issues. Last seen over the weekend eventually settling for a 1-1 stalemate against FC Volendam,"
Telstar sit rock-bottom of the Eredivisie and face a likely relegation after mustering only one league victory since late September. The club conceded 37 Eredivisie goals and hold the third-worst defensive tally. Telstar have produced just a single clean sheet in their last 11 matches and recently lost 4-1 to Zwolle and 3-2 to Ajax. Go Ahead Eagles reached Europe last season but lack stability this campaign and were eliminated from the Europa League. The Eagles have not won within 90 minutes in 14 straight appearances, last winning 2-1 against Feyenoord on November 9, and drew 1-1 vs FC Volendam.
