Feyenoord vs Excelsior Betting Tips and Predictions

Feyenoord dominate this Rotterdam derby, winning the last six meetings and scoring at least three goals in their last four wins over Excelsior. With six wins in a row in all competitions, it stands to reason that Feyenoord can extend their excellent recent form with a comfortable win on Saturday. Feyenoord may be 19 points behind the league leaders Ajax, with just eight games of the season remaining, but Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side have to keep up their momentum if they are to seal third place in the Eredivisie, which comes with an automatic qualifying place in next season’s Europa League. Feyenoord should, on paper, win this game easily but the form book can often be meaningless in a derby match.

Excelsior have been extremely inconsistent of late, beating NEC and Groningen at home but falling to four defeats in their last five games on the road. Currently occupying the third and final relegation spot in the league, Excelsior are only in the drop zone on goal difference, but that figure could well take a hit in this game. With their chances of victory at De Kuip looking so slim, it might be in the best interests of Alfons Groenendijk’s men to try to keep the score down.

Feyenoord should have way too much for their neighbours and the only question is likely to be how many goals the hosts win by. There are a few tempting bets for this match, with Feyenoord to win both halves and Feyenoord to win with over 3.5 goals standing out, but we are expecting a routine victory with a clean sheet for van Bronckhorst’s team. The tip for this match is therefore Feyenoord to win to nil at 11/10 with bet365, with a small go on Feyenoord to win 3-0 at 7/1, which is also with bet365.
