Editors' Prediction
Feyenoord enter this match as clear favorites and, despite playing away, they will likely aim to secure the result in their favor by halftime. Excelsior are unlikely to contain the attacking prowess of the visitors, but they often play open football themselves. Head-to-head encounters between these teams tend to be high-scoring affairs-more than two goals have been scored in six of their last seven meetings. Furthermore, Excelsior's last nine Eredivisie games have also seen this threshold surpassed. Considering these trends, a bet on over 2.5 goals seems a well-founded prediction.
