On Friday, August 16, 2024, two teams that started the Eerste Divisie 24/25 season with a victory in the first match, will meet at the “711 Stadion”. Our experts have analyzed both teams, so let’s see what to expect from the game at our new Telstar vs Eindhoven prediction.
Telstar vs Eindhoven: What to Expect From The Teams
SC Telstar
In the summer, the hosts underwent major changes, as Anthony Correia, well-known to local fans because he has spent his entire player career playing for SC Telstar, took over as head coach. The new head coach’s transfer campaign was also interesting, as he brought three players from amateur football to his team: Remi van Ekeris (Lisse), Tyrone Owusu, and Guus Offerhaus (Quick Boys).
His debut as a coach of his home team was more than successful, as “De Witte Leeuwen” beat Vitesse (2:3) on a foreign field, which for the first time in 35 years left the Eredivisie and will play in the second Dutch division.
The visitors were trailing until the 81st minute when Danny Bakker equalized, and five minutes later, Zakaria Eddahchouri brought the coveted 2:3 victory. Interestingly, the Offerhaus newcomer scored two assists in this match.
FC Eindhoven
However, before the Telstar vs FC Eindhoven match, not only the hosts got a new coach. The visitors also have a new coach in Maurice Verberne, who previously led MVV Maastricht, Roda JC Kerkrade, and the Eindhoven youth team, so this club is also familiar with the new head.
The coach of the FC Eindhoven team also started the new season with a victory over Den Bosch. After a wait-and-see start, the team needed two chances to end the match. Boris van Schuppen scored in the 45th minute and Evan Rottier in the 48th minute to make it 2:0.
Telstar vs FC Eindhoven: Head-to-Head
Telstar hasn’t beaten the visitors since 2020, when it defeated the team from Eindhoven twice in a year. However, in the last match last season, the teams drew.
