Go Ahead Eagles vs Excelsior tips and predictions

Go Ahead Eagles have all the advantages versus Excelsior

Go Ahead Eagles are currently in seventh place as they host 15th place Excelsior.

There's a short price favourite here but they are decidedly lacking in value. The odds don't appeal but they'll probably win.

Looking at their respective results, the hosts have got 10 wins behind them from their last 18 home games while the visitors have lost 6 of their last 7 matches home and away. They're likely to suffer a defeat here too.

The home team is in some form at home. Go Ahead Eagles have scored three or more goals in 7 of their recent 15 home matches and their defensive line also deserves some props. The stats reveal that they have conceded no more than once in all of their last 3 home games. This clash is another chance for them to keep a clean sheet.

Excelsior have had a few wobbles on the road. They've conceded two or more times in all of their last 9 away matches. They could have their hopes snuffed out pretty quickly.

Most observers believe that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match despite the favouritism for Go Ahead Eagles. It's not a strong view but the odds-against for the BTTS No looks more tempting for this encounter.
