The last meeting between these two teams ended with FC Utrecht winning 4-1 back in April, but Telstar, back at home this time, have a different squad situation, and a defense that has conceded heavily is a sign this one may not end the same easy way. Telstar have lost 3 in a row in the league and just went out of the cup with a 0-2 defeat, while FC Utrecht are unbeaten in 4 straight, but both sides have defensive problems in equal measure. Telstar have conceded 21 goals in 10 matches, while FC Utrecht have conceded 27 in the same number of games. The stats from the last 10 matches of both teams also show they allow shots on target at a similar rate (Telstar 6.7 per game, FC Utrecht 6.6 per game), so this game is likely to be one where both sides create chances throughout. The thing to watch from kickoff is Telstar's start in the first half, because at home they have never led at halftime in 8 matches. If they can control the early rhythm and not let FC Utrecht take the lead first, this game has a chance to end with the hosts taking the result.
