⭐ Editor's Prediction
Heerenveen are clear favourites for this match, and it is hard to argue with that assessment from the bookmakers. The gap in class between the two sides is enormous, so even Excelsior Maassluis's impressive unbeaten run should not be misleading. The hosts perform well at their own level, but they will find things considerably harder against an Eredivisie side. Our main prediction is a Heerenveen win with a handicap of -1.5.
