Prediction published on 08/04/2023, 03:37  by Daniel Ngulu in Eredivisie Predictions

PSV Eindhoven have the opportunity to rise to the Champions League qualification slot in the Eredivisie when they play host to Excelsior. The hosts are on 56 points and placed third, in a tie with second placed Ajax while Excelsior come into the game on 24 points, in 16th place. With a nine-game unbeaten run coming into this game, PSV have the upper hand and are outright favorites. They’ve won seven of the nine matches since falling 3-0 to Sevilla in the Europa League in February. Three of their last four matches have ended in over 2.5 goals, with PSV scoring two or more in each of the matches. However, they haven't kept a clean sheet in the four matches, while in the last 10 games they only have two clean sheets. In six of their last seven matches, both teams have scored.

Excelsior are occupying the relegation playoff spot going into this game. They are seven points above the automatic relegation spots but will want to rise further away with three points from this game. One win only in their last 10 matches is however not the kind of form to take to such a game. The visitors will look to build on the fact that they’ve avoided defeat in the last two matches. They are coming from a 0-0 draw with Twente, having earlier beaten Cambuur 4-1. Both matches were at home. It is away from home that they’ve struggled the most, coming into this game with straight losses in eight league matches. Excelsior have failed to score in the last five away matches and have conceded at least two goals in each of the last three.
