PSV Eindhoven and Telstar will battle for three points in an Eredivisie matchday four clash on Saturday (August 30th). The game will be played at Philips Stadion.
The hosts will be looking to build on the back of the 4-2 victory they registered over Groningen at the same venue last weekend. They went ahead through Guus Til's 32nd-minute strike while Brynjolfur Willumsson equalized in the 39th minute. Esmir Bajraktarevic scored a second half brace, with his goals coming either side of Ruben van Bommel's 49th minute strike.
Telstar, meanwhile, shared the spoils in a 2-2 draw at home to Volendam. They let a two-goal lead slip, having been two goals up at the break thanks to goals from Soufiane Hetli and Patrick Brouwer. Anthonu Descotte stepped off the bench with 30 minutes left on the clock and scored a brace to draw the game level.
The draw left the Veisen-Zuid outfit in 16th spot in the standings with just one point from three games. PSV are joint-top with maximum points from three games.

PSV Eindhoven vs Telstar Prediction
PSV are two-time defending champions of the Eredivisie and have made a positive start to their title defense. They are the overwhelming favorites here and will be expected to claim maximum points.
Telstar's Eerste Divisie playoff triumph last season saw them gain promotion to the Eredivisie for the first time since 1978. They lost their opening two games 2-0 and were on course to claim their first win of the season but capitulated late on.
Barring an unlikely upset, there should only be one winner here. Back the home side to claim a multi-goal victory with goals at both ends.
