Telstar - Excelsior predictions

Though the home team can be called favourites, they can’t quite relax going into the match at Excelsior. Their advantage is quite narrow, and just a few mistakes could end up costing them the game.

The visitors are well aware of the challenge ahead of them. To defeat Telstar on their home field would be a significant achievement, and it is never an easy undertaking.

While Telstar’s previous loss will hurt their Eredivisie standings, it shouldn’t have affected their confidence too much. After all, they were fighting against overwhelming odds as visitors, so the narrow 1:0 loss against Sparta Rotterdam isn’t exactly devastating.

Excelsior lost their previous league away game 2:0 after managing to maintain a draw in the first half. Eredivisie betting predictions saw such an outcome coming from a mile away, though, and the odds were decidedly against them from the get-go.

The first step Telstar need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

This is a rather rough matchup for Telstar, but they’ll want to give their best after a disastrous start to the season. They are currently number 17th in the standings, which is well within the relegation zone.

Excelsior’s only goal this early in the season is to put some more distance between them and the dreaded relegation zone. They’re currently number 16th in the standings, though, with some difficult matchups coming up.

Saturday's matchup will feature both teams at full strength, allowing for a fair and competitive game.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
