Willem II vs Excelsior Prediction

Right then, let's have a butcher's at this one. We've got a bit of a mismatch on our hands here in the Eredivisie. Willem II are looking proper shaky at the moment. They’re sitting 15th in the table with just a single point from their opening three matches. They’ve been letting goals fly into the back of the net, conceding an average of 1.80 per game, and they haven't managed a single win yet this season. It's a tough spot to be in, and they're going to need some serious graft to turn things around.

On the other side of the pitch, we’ve got Excelsior, and they’re coming into this with some serious momentum. These lot are on a tear, especially when they step out of their home ground. They’ve managed a perfect 100% win rate in their last six away fixtures. They aren't just winning, either; they're putting goals on the board like it's nothing, averaging a massive 3.67 goals per game on the road. That's some proper clinical finishing right there.

Willem II’s home form isn't exactly something to write home about, with a win rate of just 25% over their last eight. They’re going to be facing a side that knows how to find the net and keep the pressure on. While the head-to-head history is pretty even, the current form tells a completely different story. Excelsior have the momentum and the clinical edge.

Willem II are going to have to work twice as hard to keep this one level, but with Excelsior's away record being what it is, I expect them to take the three points. It's about value and facts, and the facts say Excelsior are the ones to back here. They're too hot to handle for a Willem II side that's currently struggling to find their footing.

Key Points:

• Willem II have won 0% of their matches this season, sitting 15th with only 1 point.

• Excelsior have a perfect 100% win rate in their last 6 away fixtures.

• Excelsior average a massive 3.67 goals per game when playing away from home.

• Willem II have conceded an average of 1.80 goals per game in their recent outings.

• The goal expectancy for this match is heavily skewed toward the visitors at 2.65.

I'm backing the away side to take this one.
