G.A. Eagles vs Excelsior prediction: NETHERLANDS: Eredivisie betting tips on match 2024-03-29 19:00.
[p]Go Ahead Eagles can make some excellent progress in the rankings this weekend, knowing that competitors NEC and FC Utrecht are playing a tough pair of games against PSV at home and Feyenoord away, while they themselves will compete against low-flying Excelsior Rotterdam at home. But Go Ahead have been struggling themselves in recent weeks, with no fewer than three defeats in their last four matches. A 2-0 loss at Heracles in the last round was surely the low point.[/p]
[p]They failed to score in those three defeats, but there’s little chance of René Hake’s side being subjected to another shutout based on the defensive woes of their opponents Excelsior, who failed to keep their goal clean in 20 of their last 21 games and even conceded multiple goals in six of their last seven Eredivisie matches. The Eagles will be hoping that the indefatigable Willum Willumsson can bounce back from the heartbreak of Iceland’s failure to qualify for the Euros during the international break.[/p]
[p]With only one point from their last seven matches in the Eredivisie, worries are increasing every week for Marinus Dijkhuizen’s team. After a draw in a relegation ‘six pointer’ against RKC during the previous round, the Kralingers are equal on points with the Waalwijkers, who are in the relegation zone. One man we’ll be seeing at the highest level next season is right-back Siebe Horemans.[/p]
[p]The Belgian right back was presented on Thursday by FC Utrecht, where he will transfer on a free next summer. Defending is an area where Excelsior have struggled horribly, causing them to lose their last six league games away from home whilst even conceding 4+ goals in the most recent three. It’s not likely that Horemans was therefore scouted for his defensive organisation but rather the fact he has scored or assisted four goals in the last eight rounds (G2, A2).[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Jakob Breum has scored in three of his last six appearances. Julian Baas, who made his debut for the Dutch U21 team last week, was directly involved in a goal in two of his last three league games against Go Ahead (G1, A1).[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Excelsior conceded at least two goals in each of their last nine away games, but also scored in eight of those matches.[/p]
