Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Excelsior
Match Time & Date:
27 September 2025
19:00
Prediction: 1-3
PSV
Buoyed by a 2-1 win over FC Volendam, Excelsior will be aiming to claim a major scalp when they take on PSV in the Eredivisie round 7. The Rotterdammers are after their third win of the season, but they will have a mountain to climb in Saturday’s encounter. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the home team, midfielder Lewis Schouten should be recalled to the starting XI after scoring the winner as a substitute at the weekend.
The reigning champions, on the other hand, played out a 2-2 draw with Ajax at the weekend. PSV aim to return to winning ways as soon as possible and with Excelsior suiting Peter Bosz’s troops, we are tempted to bet on the visiting team. In their last meeting in Rotterdam, PSV defeated Excelsior 2-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Bear in mind, though, that Ruben van Bommel misses out with injury for the visiting team.

Ivan Perisic is a Croatian football player born on 2nd of February 1989 in Split. Perisic started his football career in the youth of Hajduk Split where FC Sochaux discovered him by a very young age.

Perisic is known for being a strong right-footed attacking midfielder. Because of his strength and vision it’s hard to win a duel against Perisic. One of Perisic’ biggest weaknesses is his lack of technique which is required to play for the biggest football clubs.
