Excelsior - Go Ahead Eagles betting tips and odds

The visitors are well aware of the challenge ahead of them. To defeat Excelsior on their home field would be a significant achievement, and it is never an easy undertaking.

Though Go Ahead Eagles are the stronger team between the two, we wouldn’t call an away bet at the odds of 2.20 a safe one. It’s shaping up to be quite an exciting match.

Although Excelsior are coming on the back of a harsh 4:0 loss, it would be rather unfair to judge them purely on that performance. They were playing an away game in an extremely difficult matchup against PSV , so they spent most of the match trailing behind.

Although Go Ahead Eagles’s previous Eredivisie outing at Vitesse was a crushing away loss, it’s hard to judge their form based on that performance alone. After all, they were out-classed by Vitesse, who secured an early lead and a comfortable 2:0 victory in the end.

Excelsior have displayed rather inconsistent defensive play in their previous outings. Specifically, their previous 3 away games have been marked by more than 5 conceded goals. They may be at home this time, but such records usually highlight deeper issues than a home-field disadvantage.

Go Ahead Eagles’s recent performance as visitors has been marked by a lot of conceded goals – 7 in their previous 3 away games.

Go Ahead Eagles took the home win last time they clashed with Excelsior, and they did so with a hefty lead. It’s no surprise most betting predictions are expecting another triumph despite the fact they’re playing as the away team in Van Donge & De Roo Stadion.

Excelsior’s chances of winning are more difficult to gauge than usual. Though they would be underdogs anyhow, Jacky Donkor, Adrian Fein, Maxime Awoudja, Vicente Besuijen have been injured on top of that. Needless to say, they have a difficult match to look forward to.

With no injuries to speak of on the visiting side, the favourites will be heading into this fixture with full force.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.76 if you use the Betsson sportsbook.
