Almere City enter the KNVB Beker tie against Telstar in strong form after a lively 4-2 Eredivisie victory over Emmen, a match in which the absence of injured forward Bas Huisman went largely unnoticed. As Almere have turned their Yanmar Stadion into a real fortress, we predict a 2-1 home win. Their home numbers this season remain impressive, averaging 2.17 points per game and scoring 2.50 goals per match at the Yanmar Stadion. The Black Sheep's fixtures tend to be high-tempo, reflected in 4.67 average goals per home game and a 50% clean-sheet rate despite their open style. They’ve also beaten Telstar in two of the last three meetings.
Telstar, meanwhile, travel well—far better than their home form suggests—with a 60% away win rate and 2.20 points per game on the road. They’ll look to respond after a narrow 3-2 loss to Ajax at the weekend, a match where individual errors cost them. Their away defensive record is encouraging, conceding just 0.40 goals per game and keeping 60% clean sheets. The visitors have a full squad available, though Anthony Correia is expected to rotate.
Given Almere's fine home record and greater attacking potential, Home Win should be considered, alongside Over 2.5 goals as both sides average 3.0 goals per match overall. Almere Over 1.5 goals bet also seems appealing.
This KNVB Cup match will be played on Wednesday 14 January 2026 at 19:00.
