Excelsior will be looking to produce another statement result when they welcome PSV in their second Eredivisie game of the season. As PSV are desperate to record their first win of the season, we predict a 3-2 away triumph. The hosts made a flying start by crushing Cambuur 4-0 and are now on a remarkable seven-game winning run in all competitions, including friendlies. Noah Naujoks will be the man to watch after scoring twice in the season opener, while Excelsior have also found the net in nine of their last 10 matches. Their defensive record is less convincing, though, with only two clean sheets during that period.
PSV, meanwhile, dropped two points in a 2-2 draw with Fortuna Sittard in their opening game. The defending champions will be eager to respond, particularly given their incredible H2H record against Excelsior. PSV have won 18 of their previous 19 meetings with the Rotterdammers, with the other ending in a draw. The visitors have also scored 2.8 goals per game across their last 10 matches. Sergino Dest and Joey Veerman are both back from suspension, providing an additional boost.
PSV's overwhelming H2H dominance makes Away Win the obvious pick. Additionally, PSV Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total bets are worth considering (14 of the last 19 meetings produced at least three goals).
This Netherlands Eredivisie match will be played on Saturday 15 August 2026 at 19:00.
