Feyenoord - Excelsior predictions

Most fans are expecting nothing short of a decisive victory for Feyenoord. Though an upset is not impossible, it’s extremely unlikely that this match will end in anything that’s not a home win.

From the current viewpoint, the situation is straightforward. Given the strength of Feyenoord and the fact that Excelsior are given 9.50 odds to win, it is easy to see that an Excelsior victory would be a shocking surprise.

Feyenoord won with a single-point lead in their previous showdown against NEC . Some fans were expecting more, seeing how Feyenoord were considered favourites, but it’s hard to argue with 2:3 results in an away game, despite the favourable betting odds.

Excelsior had a lot going for them as they entered their previous Eredivisie bout, with both home-field advantage and considerably shorter odds to win than their opponents. As such, the 4:0 HT/FT victory wasn’t much of a surprise, but it will be interesting to see if their form keeps up while playing away.

The home team gives their opponents plenty of reasons to worry about the upcoming fixture. They’re on something of a streak with 5 goals scored over the last 3 matches.

Excelsior are performing rather sub-par whenever they play away. For instance, they have more than 5 conceded goals spread over their most recent 3 away games.

As one of the best-placed teams on the table, Feyenoord will probably be going on to the Champions League. That’s an impressive result either way, but earning the 7 points needed for the title is hugely unlikely, even if they take 3 here as predicted.

Looking over the head-to-head statistics for this Eredivisie season, the hosts already recorded a victory over Excelsior. This puts them ahead of their opponents, which is reflected in the betting odds.

This match is notable for the number of injuries reported prior by both sides. On one hand, the hosts will have to make do without Mats Wieffer, Bart Nieuwkoop, Quinten Timber, Gjivai Zechiël, Santiago Giménez. On the other, the visitors will not be able to count on Serano Seymor, Lennard Hartjes, Kik Pierie. Both are in a precarious state, but you should take the importance of these players to the respective strategies before putting down a stake.

An Over 3.5 Goals wager here can net you considerably better results than the Over 2.5 counterpart, and the probability of winning remains almost as strong. The 2.35 odds offered at 1xbet are great for value, too.
