Heracles vs Excelsior Predictions and Free Betting Tips from expert tipsters when they go head-to-head in the Dutch Eredivisie on Saturday, 02 September 2023.
Heracles are set to host Excelsior at Erve Asito Stadium for their upcoming league fixture. Heracles enter the contest following a pair of mixed performances. They sit 12th in the table after a 2-1 win over Nijmegen in their previous league match.
Their opponents, Excelsior, come into the game with a string of solid results. They remain seventh in the standings following a 2-2 draw with Fortuna Sittard last time out.
The last time these two clubs met was in July in a friendly. Heracles managed to deliver a 2-1 win that day.
In the last ten meetings between the two teams. Heracles has won four, there have been two draws, and Excelsior has won four times.
Both teams have performed decently in the league so far. Heracles remain the favourites given their home advantage and strong home record, but their defeat to Ajax cannot be overlooked, nor can the fine performances of Excelsior in recent weeks.
We expect goals in this match. In both of Heracles’s two league matches this season, there have been more than 2.5 goals scored. Also, each of Excelsior’s three league matches has ended with over 2.5 goals.
In addition, eleven of the last twelve h2h meetings between these two have had over 2.5 goals. By the looks of things, a high-scoring affair is expected this time out.
Neither of these two teams has had a solid defensive record this season. The hosts have failed to keep clean sheets in both of their two league matches this season. While the visitors have conceded seven goals in their three league matches.
Thus, the chances are quite high for goals to come from either end of the pitch.
The bookies have Heracles as the favourites, although Excelsior’s recent performances have also had a great impact. As a result, we concentrate on the goal betting possibilities, as both teams are scoring lots of goals.
Both teams have been seeing plenty of goals scored, with the majority of them coming in the second half of the game. Given all of the observations, the over 1.5 second half goals at 1.80 would be our top betting option here.
For the second tip, over 2.5 goals and BTTS at 1.90 odds seems very promising. Considering both teams recent goal involvement in their matches and their past results.
