SC Heerenveen - Excelsior predictions

With the 1.66 being what they are, we don’t expect anything other than a home win. Pulling off anything else would be a gargantuan task for Excelsior, so we’d stay away unless you’re looking for a long shot on purpose.

It would be a minor miracle for Excelsior to win at SC Heerenveen, and they’re likely aware of that. Though risky, such an outcome could bring solid profits thanks to the 4.64 price on most online sportsbooks.

SC Heerenveen are coming on the back of an away draw (2:2) in the previous round against FC Utrecht . The score was tied at both half-time and the final whistle, which isn’t too bad for SC Heerenveen considering the 1.91 odds on them.

Although the previous round didn’t end well for Excelsior, it can’t really be called a disappointment. It was a narrow 1:2 loss against vastly stronger opposition - PSV. Considering the 7.42 odds Excelsior had to win, most spectators expected complete domination.

Experts have pointed at SC Heerenveen’s defence as their biggest issue at the moment. They conceded 6 goals over the last 3 Eredivisie games.

Based on their recent performance, Excelsior’s largest issue seems to be defence, especially in away games. With 10 conceded goals in their 3 previous visiting matches, Over 3.5 Goals markets seem like a solid betting option.

The initial few rounds of the Eredivisie season went poorly for SC Heerenveen, and they’ll be looking to make up the 0 -point difference needed to climb up. Despite the questionable form, most predictions are expecting them to win.

Excelsior will need 0 points as quickly as possible to get out of the relegation zone. Although they’ll have more than enough chances in the future, this match on Saturday is not looking great. Most online bookies see them as clear underdogs, after all.

Both teams will be able to field their strongest lineups this Saturday, with no injuries or suspensions to worry about.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1 at 1xbet.
