Excelsior - SC Cambuur betting tips and odds

The hosts have everything stacking up against them in this match including the betting odds of 2.62. Excelsior will indeed find it very hard to beat SC Cambuur here but nothing is impossible if you try hard enough.

The visitors are well-aware of the task ahead. Beating Excelsior is difficult under any circumstances and doing it on their own turf would be an even bigger achievement for SC Cambuur.

At 5.60 betting odds, Excelsior were huge underdogs in their previous Eredivisie outing. That did not stop them from believing they could run out with a point in the bag after a tied first half. However, they failed miserably in doing so, as they stumbled to a disappointing FC Emmen defeat.

SC Cambuur are coming off from a crushing 5:2 away loss against PSV in the previous round. PSV were considered far stronger going in – so much so that even the draw at half time was slightly unexpected.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and Excelsior have been on a downward spiral when it comes to their defensive performance. With 5 goals conceded over their past 3 games, there’s definite room for improvement.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over SC Cambuur’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

These two teams already met once previously in this season, and it didn’t go well for SC Cambuur. They may be the favourites to win this match, but they lost the earlier home game quite handily.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.77, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
