PSV - Excelsior betting tips and odds

PSV have been installed as firm favourites by the best online bookmakers and anything but a home win in this match would be considered a huge upset.

Excelsior stand next to no chance at beating the hosts in this match. For instance, most bookies online offer odds of 31.00 for an away win, indicating a very small chance of success.

Most online bookmakers expected PSV to win the previous round with ease, and it seems they were right. They were playing as visitors at NEC but were largely seen as the stronger team – which they proved to be true with an early lead and a match-long dominance.

Excelsior are coming off of a 0:0 draw in a relatively low-scoring home game against FC Twente last round. Considering how heavily the Eredivisie betting odds were stacked against them, however, the point they earned can be considered an accomplishment.

PSV have managed to bag 10 goals in the last three showdowns, and the supporters at Philips Stadion are expecting a lot of action this time around.

Excelsior can’t really boast a great record when it comes to playing as visitors. They conceded upwards of 5 goals in their most recent 3 away games. Considering they’re heading into another away game, that’s cause for concern.

PSV already have a victory over Excelsior on their record. It happened earlier in this running season of the Eredivisie, marking them as the clear favourites for the upcoming showdown.

The visitors have to contend with several injuries. Jacky Donkor, Adrian Fein, Maxime Awoudja, Vicente Besuijen are the players that will be missing, which makes the Excelsior lineup somewhat weaker than usual. This is made far worse because they were considered undergods going in either way.

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
