Telstar vs NEC Nijmegen
Netherlands – Eerste Divisie
Date: Friday, 19th October 2018
Kick-off at 19.00 UK/ 20.00 CET
Venue: Telstar Stadion (Velzen Zuid).
The 13th placed Telstar takes on the seventh placed NEC Nijmegen at the Telstar Stadion this Friday. Telstar has been on rough patch of games so far with not so impressive results and a game with NEC Nijmegen is nothing to look forward to at this time.
Telstar’s home record is something to be bothered about and as they host the in-form Nijmegen they will try to bring some much needed order into this mess, but a positive result doesn’t seem likely.
NEC Nijmegen is aiming for the top spots as they sit just five points off the first place. Coming into the tenth round, the time seems right for the visiting team to push for the championship places.
NEC Nijmegen are the clear favorites for this match. They have dominated Telstar in their recent matches. Telstar couldn’t even register a goal against NEC Nijmegen in their three losses. NEC Nijmegen is currently on an away streak to be envied of, and at the same time Telstar is plagued with bad overall form as well as home form.
The visiting team has a tendency to score a lot of goals as well as concede them. Telstar has a leaky defence as of now and this will be exploited by the Nijmegen team. Expect the match to be a thrilling one which will likely be dominated by the away team. A lot of goals will be scored too.
