SC Heerenveen’s painful defeat in their previous away match could have been seen from a mile away. They were facing Feyenoord as visitors, so betting predictions never gave them much of a shot. The home team took an early lead which culminated in a 6:1 loss for SC Heerenveen.

Excelsior had their work cut out for them as they entered the previous game. The 3.45 odds were somewhat favourable, but most of the advantage can be chalked up to the fact that they were playing at home. The two teams ended up in a deadlock for most of the runtime, and the match ended with a 0:0 draw.

Given Excelsior_GOALS_CONCEDED goals conceded in their own net over the past 3 matches, Excelsior's defensive line is much to be desired.

The visiting team are doing rather well offensively – at least as far as their latest 3 matches can tell us. They’ve scored more than 5 times in total over the course of these games.

An Over 3.5 Goals is the best option for this fixture, though it’s not perfect by any means. That said, the notable risk of failure is worth it due to the considerable betting value that can be found in the 2.55 odds.
