⭐ Editor’s prediction
Go Ahead Eagles are slight favourites, but Excelsior will be determined to avoid another defeat, especially at home. The hosts regularly feature in high-scoring games, with defensive mistakes proving costly. The visitors are also capable of posing a threat going forward, though they are not always reliable at the back. Given both sides’ attacking potential and defensive vulnerabilities, an open contest looks likely. Our main prediction is over 2.5 goals.
