Eerste Divisie
Their most recent Eredivisie encounter ended in a narrow 1-0 win for Telstar in December 2025, a result that injected vital confidence into the hosts’ relegation fight. The hosts are also unbeaten in the last two head-to-head meetings at the BUKO Stadion.
Telstar team overview
Telstar’s campaign has been defined by inconsistency and a significant lack of victories. Entering Round 25, they have failed to win their last seven league matches, with their most recent win coming just a few days before Christmas, surprisingly against this Friday’s opponent, NAC Breda. Telstar’s home form has been equally poor, with no wins in their last eight Eredivisie fixtures and just one home victory across the entire top-flight campaign so far.
On the injury front, Telstar have no major absentees confirmed for this fixture, allowing coach Anthony Correia to select his strongest available squad and maximize tactical continuity.

NAC Breda team overview
NAC Breda enter this game under similarly challenging conditions, although they have begun to show signs of a resurgence in recent weeks. Carl Hoefkens’ side head into Friday’s fixture on the back of two consecutive league wins over Heracles and Volendam, results that have lifted them out of the automatic relegation places, at least for the time being.
While their attack - led by forwards like Sydney van Hooijdonk - has shown glimpses of productivity, their inability to consistently keep clean sheets has left them vulnerable in close contests. They could not prevent the opposition side from scoring in seven of their last nine Eredivisie away outings.
Defensive injuries remain a concern; key defender Fredrik Oldrup Jensen remains sidelined, and centre-back Leo Greiml’s availability is uncertain, potentially weakening Breda’s rearguard further.

Given these parallels and the high stakes, a draw seems the most probable outcome. Neither side possesses the attacking firepower to dominate outright, yet both struggle defensively, which could lead to both teams finding the net on Friday.
