Will Telstar take a serious shot at the third period title? Jokingly, supporters of the first divisionist always say that their team is at its best during this period. Tonight, Young PSV really has to be won at home to further increase the pressure on leader PEC Zwolle. You can follow this match live on the radio at NH Sport.
Last Monday, Telstar beat another U23 team. Jong FC Utrecht was beaten 1-0. Played football in the last five games the White Lions ten points together. That is three less than PEC and one less than ADO Den Haag. In addition to Jong PSV, coach Mike Snoei’s team will play against Heracles (away), FC Eindhoven (home) and Roda JC (away) this period.
Period title in 2008
The last time Telstar won a period title was led in 2008 by trainer Edward Metgod. The chance that this will succeed again now seems small with this competition program and the strong opposition. Placement for the play-offs is also possible via the regular position. In that case, Telstar must finish in the top eight teams. If there is also a Young team, ninth place is also sufficient. Telstar is currently joint eighth with Jong AZ.
Tonight’s opponent, Jong PSV, can be found in thirteenth place. Telstar won the first leg 2-0 thanks to goals from Christos Giousis (penalty) and Yaël Liesdek. The latter is injured and, according to Snoei, will almost certainly not play again this season. Rein Smit is also missing tonight.
