The only player to score from Excelsior was Elías Már Ómarsson (63'). Flor Van Den Eynden (76') was the scorer for FC Eindhoven.

Over their past 6 clashes alone, the sum of 25 goals have been scored for both sides combined (at an average of 4.17 goals per game) with 10 of them being chalked up by Roodzwarten. That kind of pattern isn’t assured to be carried forward into this match, though.

• have not been beaten in the league by MVV in their last 2 games.
• are without a home win in the past 3 matches in the league.

MVV

Since suffering a loss in their previous game against Go Ahead Eagles in Eerste Divisie competition, MVV and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

Jay Idzes (27') and Sam Beukema (35') scored for Go Ahead Eagles.

The stats don’t lie, and MVV have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, conceding 15 goals in all. Defensively, MVV just haven’t been too solid at all.

Coming into this clash, MVV haven’t won away from home in the past 2 matches in the league.

🔮 Prediction

When taking all factors into account, MVV have the ability to get a goal against this Excelsior side, but it is unlikely to be as many as they will have scored against them.

Our selection here is for a narrow 2-1 winning score for Excelsior by the time that the referee blows the final whistle. It’s a very tough call.
