Excelsior vs Twente: Match Preview and Prediction
Excelsior vs Twente: Twente will come into this game having defeated Waalwijk 3-0. Their winning streak in the league now stands at two games. They will look to keep it going against an underwhelming Excelsior team at Van Donge & De Roo Stadion on Saturday.
Twente has won two league games in a row after going undefeated in eight of 10 games overall. Excelsior has lost its previous two league games and four of its last five overall. In four of the previous six Excelsior games, they allowed 11 goals above 2.5 feet.
Lately, Twente has been playing well in the league. They have advanced to third place in the standings after going undefeated in six of the previous seven league games. Remember that they have only lost three of their first 20 league games of the season.
Excelsior, however, has recently struggled in the league. In their most recent league game, they lost to Almere City 2-1. It was their league-high 16th winless campaign. The squad has only won twice in its ten league games, so things are not much better at home either. From the looks of it, Excelsior will have a difficult opponent on Saturday.
Excelsior vs Twente: Betting Analysis
Twente has not lost to Excelsior in four previous meetings. This also includes a 4-2 victory in the rematch. In three of the last five games between these two, the goals were more than 2.5 feet. Except for one match, Twente has a perfect record of victories over Excelsior at this stadium.
Saturday should be a tough test for the home team. Even at home, their poor performance is the main factor. Their traveling adversaries, Twente, have won six of their last seven league games, indicating good away form. Given Twente’s strong head-to-head record, we recommend betting on an away win.
Now let’s move on to our second prediction for this game: over 2.5 goals. The primary motivation behind this advice is the high scoring nature of the majority of their most recent head-to-head matches. Additionally, both teams’ most recent league records were highly scoring.
