Excelsior vs De Graafschap Predictions

• Excelsior have lost three of their opening five matches in the Eerste Divisie.
• De Graafschap have won three of their last four matches in the league.
• De Graafschap have won eight of their last nine matches in the Eerste Divisie.

Excelsior were on track for a promotion playoff challenge before the 2019/20 season was cut short, but the hosts haven’t started the new season in the same vein of form.

They have lost three of their opening five matches and come into this having suffered back-to-back defeats against Telstar and Ajax Reserves, and they could struggle to end this poor run on Monday.

They face off against a De Graafschap side who were challenging for the title last year, and more of the same is expected from the visitors.

De Graafschap have won three of their opening four games, although a dismal 7-3 hammering at AZ Reserves will weigh heavy on their mind.

The visitors did bounce back last time out against NEC though, and with eight wins from their last nine league games a victory for De Graafschap looks good value for money.

Excelsior have only failed to score once this season but have conceded an average of 2.6 goals per game and face a De Graafschap side in fine goalscoring form, so a 3-1 correct score prediction is our choice.
