Excelsior vs SC Cambuur Live Stream, Predictions

📊 Form Guide

Excelsior

DLLLLL 🔻

Excelsior will be hoping to bounce back here following the 2-0 Eredivisie loss in their previous game against FC Emmen.

Ole Romeny (63', 71') was the scorer for FC Emmen.

A common characteristic of recent Excelsior games is the number of nil scores.

From their previous six clashes before this one, in as many as 5 of them a wager on both teams scoring would have been a loser. We will just have to see if that trend will be sustained here.

Heading into this fixture, Excelsior are without a home win in the past 4 league games. Things will have to change soon.

SC Cambuur

LDLLWL

After suffering a loss in their previous game against PSV Eindhoven in Eredivisie competition, SC Cambuur and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

For SC Cambuur, goals were scored by Remco Balk (22') and Bjørn Johnsen (61'). Xavi Simons (25'), Patrick van Aanholt (54'), Anwar El Ghazi (56', 88') and Fábio Silva (65') scored for PSV Eindhoven.

Looking at their form, and SC Cambuur have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, conceding 15 goals overall. Defensively, SC Cambuur could really do with shoring things up.

Looking at their past form shows that SC Cambuur:

• have not lost to Excelsior in away games against them for the last 5 matches in the league. A very good run of results for them.
• have not won away from home in their last 3 league games.

ℹ️ Team News: Excelsior

Kik Pierie (Muscle Injury), Jacky Donkor (Knee Injury) and Yassin Ayoub (Muscle Injury) are unavailable for Excelsior boss Marinus Dijkhuizen.

We are thinking that Roodzwarten could use a 4-2-3-1 system, handing starts to Stijn van Gassel, Siebe Horemans, Sven Nieuwpoort, Redouan El Yaakoubi, Arthur Zagre, Peer Koopmeiners, Kenzo Goudmijn, Marouan Azarkan, Julian Baas, Lazaros Lamprou and Nikolas Agrafiotis.

ℹ️ Team News: SC Cambuur

In an otherwise healthy group of players, there is just the one fitness problem for the SC Cambuur gaffer Sjors Ultee to be concerned about. Maxim Gullit (Knee Injury) misses out for this game.

From our viewpoint, Herten will likely begin the game with a 4-3-3 system, starting Robbin Ruiter, Sai van Wermeskerken, Leon Bergsma, Floris Smand, Alex Bangura, Daniel van Kaam, Mitchell Paulissen, Navarone Foor, Remco Balk, Bjoern Maars Johnsen and Mimoun Mahi.

✨ Prediction

We envisage that SC Cambuur and Excelsior are probably both going to find scoring goals difficult here.

A scoreless draw looks like a real possibility, but we’ll see what happens. Our tip is therefore for a tight encounter with a 0-0 score at the end of this one.

Our expert partners are tipping over 1.5 goals for this match. Check out their VIP predictions here.
