Excelsior - Heracles predictions

Excelsior are expected to win here, but we can’t call such betting predictions completely foolproof. Heracles may surprise us yet, and even a tie game seems a decent possibility from where we’re standing.

An away win in this match would be a huge surprise and an equally big achievement for Heracles who could consider themselves fortunate if they run away with a point in the bag.

The previous time Excelsior played as hosts, it ended in a crushing 0:3 defeat – despite the draw result at half-time and only a slight disadvantage in terms of form compared to their rivals NEC .

Eredivisie betting odds expected Heracles’s previous away game to be a relatively close call, but it ended up being completely one-sided. They quickly fell behind and the gap between them and their opponents only widened as time went on. The final outcome was a harsh 0:5 home defeat.

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.

Heracles’s defence seems to be their most prominent weakness at the moment. Having allowed 10 goals in their previous 3 games, it might be a good time to look at Over 3.5 Goals betting markets when it comes to their next match.

The hosts may be favourites to win the match, but their lineup is in a somewhat weakened state. Serano Seymor, Lennard Hartjes, Kik Pierie are all sidelined due to injury, which makes Excelsior’s position as favourites a bit shakier than it might seem.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.50 odds offered at Betway.
