Feyenoord v Telstar: title push meets survival fight | OneFootball

Feyenoord host Telstar in the Eredivisie at Stadion Feijenoord on Sunday, 22 February 2026, with the hosts chasing the top spot and the visitors battling to climb out of the relegation places.

Feyenoord won the reverse fixture 2-1 away in November and arrive second in the table. Telstar sit 17th and are in need of points to change the picture at the bottom.

Form points to momentum for the hosts: three wins in their last four league matches, including back to back victories over Utrecht and Go Ahead Eagles. Telstar are on a five match winless league run, though they have taken draws in their past two against Go Ahead Eagles and FC Twente.

Robin van Persie is without Gernot Trauner, Sem Steijn, Oussama Targhalline, Thomas Beelen, Leo Sauer, Givairo Read, Shaqueel van Persie and Malcolm Jeng through injury. Telstar list Tyrone Owusu and Devon Koswal as injured.

The hosts have scored 53 league goals at 2.3 per game with 54% possession and 83.68% pass accuracy (season totals). With 318 open play crosses at 22.01% accuracy and nine headed goals, they could look to work the wide areas again, while set pieces have yielded just one league goal. Telstar have conceded 39 at 1.7 per game, defending deep with 705 clearances and 109 blocks, and will need discipline up front after being flagged offside 46 times. Ayase Ueda leads the league with 18 goals, while Jeff Hardeveld has provided four assists for the visitors (per the league rankings).

A win would strengthen Feyenoord's grip on second and keep their title ambitions alive. For Telstar, victory could boost survival hopes and may move them closer to escaping the bottom two.
