Head-to-head statistics Telstar - Almere

Telstar: winless streak
In their last Eredivisie match on 23 October 2026, Telstar lost away to Go Ahead Eagles 2-3, despite having more possession and creating more attacks. They trailed 0-2 at half-time, pulled it back to 2-2, but Go Ahead Eagles had the better of the shots on target, 7-3.
Telstar are having a difficult season and currently sit 16th in the Eredivisie table. They have gone a long time without a win, managing just one victory from ten matches, alongside three draws and six defeats. The problems in defence are particularly noticeable, with the team conceding an average of 2.1 goals per game, while their attack has been considerably more modest, scoring 1.2 goals per match. This imbalance is preventing Telstar from picking up points consistently, even at home.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
The bookmakers favour Telstar, though the hosts' recent results have left a lot to be desired. They have been making regular defensive errors and struggling to win, while Almere City are in better form. That said, the difference in class and home advantage remain significant arguments in Telstar's favour. We expect the hosts to end their poor run in this cup tie and get the better of a second-division side. Our main prediction is a Telstar win.
