MVV vs Excelsior Live Stream, Predictions

📏 Form Guide

MVV

LDDLWL

MVV will be wanting a better result here following a 1-0 Eerste Divisie loss in their previous game against De Graafschap.

Jordy Tutuarima (33') was the scorer for De Graafschap.

It has been seldom in recent times that MVV have kept a clean sheet. The reality is that MVV have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 10 goals during that time. That pattern won’t necessarily be sustained into this match, of course.

A look at their previous results shows us that MVV:

• have not registered a win against Excelsior in their previous 3 league matches.
• are unbeaten in their last 2 league matches at home.

Excelsior

DWDWLL ⚖

Since tasting defeat last time out to Roda JC Kerkrade in Eerste Divisie action, Excelsior will be aiming to make amends here.

The only name on the scoresheet from Excelsior was Siebe Horemans (90'). Erik Falkenburg (37'), Dylan Vente (70') and Benjamin Bouchouari (83') scored for Roda JC Kerkrade.

Looking at their form, and Excelsior have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing their opponents hit 11 goals overall. Defensively, Roodzwarten can certainly do much better.

Going into this game, the form guide shows that Excelsior:

• haven't been defeated by MVV when they have played them away from home in the previous 2 league games.
• are undefeated in their last 2 away league matches.

🔮 Prediction

We’re thinking that MVV will do well to hit the back of the net against this Excelsior lineup who we think might score at least once to put them ahead.

We’ve gone for a very competitive encounter with a 0-1 advantage for Excelsior when the full-time whistle blows.

Should be an interesting one.
