Excelsior vs PSV Predictions

• Excelsior scored five goals across their opening two league games.
• PSV have hit nine goals across the opening two league encounters.
• PSV won nine of their last 11 away league games.

A bump in the road for Excelsior?

After earning promotion via the play-offs, Excelsior have made a stronger start to the new season than anyone had anticipated, winning both games by two-goal margins, perhaps most impressively their 3-1 win over European hopefuls Vitesse last time out.

Such a strong start may have inspired belief amongst the Rotterdammers, though the challenge posed by Dutch Super Cup winners and Europa League participants PSV is much greater than those they’ve already faced.

PSV have won nine of their last 11 away league games while each of their last seven at any venue produced three or more goals, suggesting that whatever happens we’ll see an end-to-end, exciting encounter at Van Donge & De Roo Stadion.

Stick with the Eindhoveners

While losing out to Rangers in the race for the Champions League was a blow to Ruud van Nistelrooy’s men, we predict that they’ll bounce back to form with an away league win at Excelsior.

However, we are extracting value from the pick by backing the hosts to at least score a goal against their wobbling visitors, with a smaller stakes selection going the way of a 3-1 PSV victory.
