Cambuur Leeuwarden Team Overview
The club is back in the Eredivisie and leaning on their home ground: last season at the Kooi, Cambuur won around 60% of their matches, built on pressing and quick transitions. Pre-season was patchy - five games, two wins, three defeats, six scored and nine conceded. The wide players have been lively going forward, but defensively there are concentration issues, especially against quick counters.

⭐ Editor's Pick
The bookmakers give a slight edge to the hosts, and the reasoning is clear: this is their first home match back in the top flight. But Excelsior's attacking output levels things out. Expect an open game with goals at both ends. Excelsior could edge it - their attack looks more cohesive and their finishing in pre-season was decent - but Cambuur at home will push back. The bet is Both Teams To Score - Yes. Predicted score: 2-1 to Excelsior.
