NAC Breda v Telstar: relegation six-pointer in the Eredivisie | OneFootball

NAC Breda host Telstar in the Eredivisie on Saturday, 20 December 2025 at Rat Verlegh Stadion, with 17th playing 18th and survival points firmly on the line.

Recent meetings have often been tight with several draws, though NAC Breda did win this fixture 3-1 in October 2023. The stakes are similar now, with both sides needing a result to change the mood at the bottom.

Form favours neither. NAC have taken one point from their past five league games, while Telstar have drawn four of their last five in the league and lost the other, but arrive buoyed by back-to-back cup wins.

Team news could shape back lines. NAC Breda list defenders Terence Kongolo, Leo Greiml and Jayden Candelaria, plus midfielder Fredrik Jensen, as injured. Telstar report defender Devon Koswal sidelined.

On the pitch, both concede regularly this season. NAC have let in 25 goals, Telstar 27. For threat, Sydney Van Hooijdonk leads NAC Breda's scoring with five league goals, while Jeff Hardeveld's three assists underline Telstar's supply. The visitors have scored four headed goals and may look to profit from crosses against a side still searching for only a second clean sheet.

A home win would move NAC Breda to 16 points and could lift them out of the automatic relegation places. Victory for Telstar would take them to 15 points, potentially lifting them off the bottom and closer to the relegation play-off spot.
