Two sides battling relegation from the Eredivisie meet on Friday evening when Excelsior host FC Volendam.
Excelsior's return to the Dutch top flight in 2022/23 saw them finish the season just one place above the relegation places, and it looks like this campaign will have another nervy ending. Marinus Dijkhuizen's side have picked up just 22 points this season, but the fact that 13 of those points came at home will give them a boost ahead of this week's game.
Volendam are three places behind Excelsior, but the visitors have been in good form of late. Regillio Simons' side have suffered just one defeat in their last five games, and most recently beat RKC Waalwijk 3-2 in the league. Having also won their last two encounters with Excelsior, they will fancy their chances of getting at least a point from Friday's game.
Betting Tips Excelsior vs FC Volendam: Both teams to score
Poor defending is one of the reasons Excelsior are in the relegation battle. The hosts enter this week’s game with a run of eleven consecutive games without a clean sheet and shipped at least two goals in each of their last three matches.
Volendam have failed to score in each of their last two home matches, but goals have not been scares for the visitors on the road lately. Regillio Simons’ men boast at least one goal from each of their last seven matches and bets on btts - yes were won in all seven encounters.
- Best Tip: BTTS - Yes
- Excelsior vs FC Volendam prediction: 1-1
