Excelsior - Vitesse predictions

Kickoff starts at 12:15 on 25/02/2024 played @ Van Donge & De Roo Stadion refereed by Marc Nagtegaal

Vitesse will give Excelsior a run for their money and there is no doubt about it. However, at 2.22 odds on home win in this match, we still recommend backing the hosts.

Vitesse will need to dig deep in order to get past the motivated hosts. An away win at 3.30 betting odds is considered a high risk but that’s exactly why the reward would be much sweeter.

The hosts will be keen to forget their previous Eredivisie game. Excelsior thought they were onto something after a tied first half but it all came for nothing after the break. Ultimately, a Sparta Rotterdam drubbing is nothing to show off with.

Last round was rather disappointing for Vitesse, who were favourites in a home game against FC Volendam. Both halves of the game ended in draws, prompting some to raise questions about their Vitesse’s ability to press the advantage. In the end, a 1:1 draw was nothing to be proud about.

With 9 concessions over the last 3 matches, Excelsior will definitely have to make some improvements in their defensive line.

The visitors’ main concern will be cutting down the concession rate. They conceded more than 5 times in their latest 3 matches, and bucking the trend will be a great step in the right direction.

Earning the 0 points needed to get out of the relegation zone is paramount for Vitesse, but doing so will be quite the challenge. Although there’s close to half the season yet to be played, they’re facing very unfavourable odds this Sunday.

These two teams have shown to be evenly matched throughout the season. They’ve recorded multiple draws since the competition began, which doesn’t sit well with Excelsior because they’re the favourites. They’ll have a shot at finally getting a positive score, though.

The odds being what they are, remember that they were priced with various injuries in mind. The hosts reported that Redouan El Yaakoubi, Sven Nieuwpoort, Lennard Hartjes, Ian Smeulers will have to sit this one out, while Vitesse will have to make do without Miliano Jonathans, F. Fofana, M. Tielemans.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.74 odds offered at 888Sport.
