Prediction
Our feeling is that Excelsior can and should stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.
In contrast, Jong PSV might well find it a difficult task getting goals but do we see them being dangerous at times.
Accordingly, we see a 3-1 victory for Excelsior after 90 minutes.
