Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
David faces Goliath at Philips Stadion as PSV and Telstar lock horns in the Eredivisie round 4. PSV aim to keep their 100% record in the new season intact and they are seen as hot favourites to win Saturday’s clash. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but Bosnian rising star Esmir Bajraktarevic could sneak into the starting XI after scoring a brace as a substitute in a 4-1 win over Groningen. Summer signing Alassane Plea remains in the recovery room.
Telstar, on the other hand, have yet to record a win in the 2025/2026 Eredivisie campaign and they face yet another uphill task against the title holders. As previously mentioned, this is a David-vs-Goliath clash and anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. Suriname defender Dion Malone should sneak into the Telstar starting XI following his fine performance in a 2-2 draw with Volendam.
Highlighted Player (Ivan Perisic):

Ivan Perisic is a Croatian football player born on 2nd of February 1989 in Split. Perisic started his football career in the youth of Hajduk Split where FC Sochaux discovered him by a very young age. After playing for FC Sochaux, Club Brugge, Borussia Dortmund and Wolfsburg Inter Milan transferred him for approximately 17 million euro.

Perisic is known for being a strong right-footed attacking midfielder. Because of his strength and vision it’s hard to win a duel against Perisic. One of Perisic’ biggest weaknesses is his lack of technique which is required to play for the biggest football clubs. Perisic won several prizes in his career but didn’t always play a big role in them. In season 2010/2011 Perisic was topscorer of the highest Belgian football division scoring 22 goals.
