EERISTE DIVISE | LEAGUE

 

✍🏻SC Cambuur

WLLLLL 🔻

SC Cambuur will be looking to improve on their last outing here after the 2-0 Eerste Divisie losing effort in their last game against Jong AZ.

In that game, SC Cambuur managed 43% possession and 15 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. Jong AZ had 18 attempts on goal with 8 of them on target. Ernest Poku (27', 53') scored for Jong AZ.

It has been a rare occasion in recent times that SC Cambuur have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that SC Cambuur have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, leaking 12 goals in the process. That pattern won’t necessarily be continued into this next game, however.

Looking at the pre-match facts, SC Cambuur:

• have not lost a league tie with Telstar in their last 4 games.
• are without a win at home for the past 4 league games. Their fans aren't happy.

✍🏻Telstar

WDWDLW

Telstar will go into this clash after a 3-1 Eerste Divisie win in the defeat of ADO Den Haag in their last match.

In that game, Telstar had 39% possession and 9 shots at goal with 4 of them on target. For Telstar, the goals were scored by Danzell Gravenberch (14'), Mees Kaandorp (42') and Youssef El Kachati (47'). ADO Den Haag got 13 attempts on goal with 3 on target. Jort van der Sande (37') scored for ADO Den Haag.

The stats tell the story, and Telstar have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, letting opponents get 7 goals in total. At the back, Telstar have some weaknesses to address.

Ahead of this meeting, Telstar have not won against SC Cambuur in away games against them for the last 8 matches in the league. A very poor run of away results.

Due to a completely injury-free group to pick from, the Telstar manager Ulrich Landvreugd has zero fitness worries to speak of coming into this clash.

🔮 Prediction _over 2.5 goals 

We envisage that Telstar are likely to find the back of the net against this SC Cambuur lineup, although that probably won’t be as many as they will have scored against them.

We can see a close game with a 2-1 winning margin for SC Cambuur after the 90. Definitely a tough call.
