Excelsior are enjoying an excellent spell of form and will be full of confidence after beating Sparta Rotterdam and Willem II before sharing the spoils with Nijmegen in a 2-2 midweek draw. The Rotterdammers have scored an impressive 2.60 goals per game across their last 10 matches, while they have also found the net in every game during that period. Valentin Sulzbacher could be rewarded with a start after scoring from the bench against NEC, with no fresh injury worries for Excelsior.
Utrecht, meanwhile, are stuck in a five-game winless run despite showing signs that better results could be around the corner. Anthony Correia's men fought back from two goals down to draw 3-3 with Go Ahead Eagles, underlining their attacking potential. Utrecht have conceded 2.30 goals per game across their last 10, while BTTS landed in 80%. Jensen, Johathans, Ohio and Engwanda are all sidelined, leaving the visitors with selection problems.
Considering that 72% of the last 18 H2Hs produced at least three goals, we believe that there is big value in betting on Over 2.5 goals, alongside Both Teams to Score, and Over 3.5 goals (61% H2H).
This Netherlands Eredivisie match will be played on Sunday 13 September 2026 at 11:15.
