GO Ahead Eagles vs Telstar — Tips & Analysis

GO Ahead Eagles -0.75: Telstar are a different team away from their own ground, and this pick leans on that. They score under a goal a game on the road and sit 16th on six points, in the relegation place. They have also been giving up far more chances than their results show. GO Ahead are not flying, but at De Adelaarshorst they score 2 goals a game. Their home record reads 2 wins, 3 ties and 1 loss, and they let in almost 2 a game there, so they play open football. The Eagles tied four in a row before a 1-4 beating at PEC Zwolle, and they need a win badly. They have won only 2 of their last 14, so nobody should call this a side in form. The shape still suits us. A team that has to attack is up against one that barely scores away from home. A 2-1 home win looks the most likely finish. We want the Eagles on top, and a second goal of margin would make it a clean one. There are two real warnings here. A team with 2 wins in 14 is being asked to win by two, and they have done that in only 2 of their last 14. Telstar are also unbeaten in the last three meetings. They tied the most recent 1-1 and won the two before it. We are still backing the Eagles.
