💭 Prediction

We believe that Go Ahead Eagles are likely to see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.

Conversely, Excelsior may well struggle to make a breakthrough but we do think that it’s more than likely that they will be hitting back at some stage here.

Therefore, we are anticipating a comfortable 3-1 win for Go Ahead Eagles at the conclusion of the game.
