Telstar vs Jong AZ Prediction & Betting tips
A derby in Noord-Holland on Friday evening, when the number four Telstar receives the number before Young AZ. For the home team a perfect opportunity to settle in fourth place.
Telstar :
Telstar, together with Fortuna, can be called the surprise of the season. The ‘Witte Leeuwen’ have been regular customers in the right-hand row of the Jupiler League in recent years, but this year is rising above themselves. The Velsenaren stand after 37 matches at 37 points, with which the team of trainer Mike Snoei is pretty fourth.
Last week FC Eindhoven was beaten with sounding figures. It was no less than 4-1. The final score was already on the scoreboard after fifty minutes, or. the wicker baskets in IJmuiden. The hits were provided by Andrija Novakovich (2x), Melvin Platje and Mohammed Osman. Mart Lieder did something for Eindhoven.
It is clear that the power of Telstar is in the front this season. The team already had 38 goals against this season. Only five teams had to tolerate even more counter-matches. On the other hand, only four teams scored more than Telstar.
The most dangerous players are at the front of Telstar. The American striker Andrija Novakovic was picked up at Reading prior to this season but has scored eleven times so far. Celther Melvin Platje returned to Telstar in the Netherlands after a few less successful foreign adventures. He has found his turn again, looking at his seven goals. Mohammed Osman and Mohammed Hamdaoui were already six times accurate.
Telstar is working on a very strong series. From the last five games the team of Mike Snoei got no less than thirteen points. The last seven home games yielded six wins and one draw. NEC, de Graafschap and Almere City were defeated in this series. Telstar lost this season only once in their own home. It was then equal 0-6 against Fortuna Sittard.
Jong AZ:
The peak season of Young AZ is still far from hoped. The Alkmaarders’ promises started promisingly the season with two victories in a row, but dropped further and further on the ranking during the season. You could say that Jong AZ became the victim of the success of her own youth training. Because of their good performances, players like Guus Til, Teun Koopmeiners and Pantelis Hatzidiakos are now part of the main force.
Last winter break, AZ club management decided that a group of players at a higher level than Young AZ would have to make minutes. Players such as Fred Friday, Dabney dos Santos and Levi Garcia, who played a regular role with the main squad at Jong AZ, have now been loaned by AZ to an Eredivisie team and are therefore no longer available for coach Martin Haar in the second half of the season. . There is a good chance that Iliass Bel Hassani and Rens van Eijden will soon follow the same route. Jeremy Helmer and Tijani Reijnders have been transferred to the main force.
Levi Opdam and Abdelmalek El Hasnaoui have been lent to other Jupiler Leagueplums. They play the second half of the season for Go Ahead Eagles and FC Den Bosch respectively.
With a selection that is considerably weakened compared to the first half of the season, trainer Martin Haar can try to turn the tide with his men. He can at least get a glimmer of hope from the result against FC Den Bosch last Monday. After seven defeats in a row, Jong AZ once again managed to get a tip out of the fire. She now hopes to continue this result with a visit to Telstar. In the first match in September, Jong AZ managed to keep the White Lions at 2-2. The goals were made by Teun Koopmeiners and Fred Friday. That duo will not be there at least this week.
