Excelsior will be desperate to climb out of the relegation zone as they host Utrecht, but their recent form raises serious concerns. Therefore, our prediction firmly points toward a 2-1 away win. The Rotterdammers have picked up just 0.60 points per game from their last 10 matches and remain winless at home in that stretch, collecting only 0.20 points per game. The home side concede 1.60 goals on average and have kept just one clean sheet, though their matches are often open with a 70% BTTS rate.
Utrecht arrive to Rotterdam in strong form, collecting 2.00 points per game and winning 60% of their last 10 matches. The visitors average 1.90 goals scored and just 0.90 conceded, showing a solid balance between attack and defence. Away from home, Utrecht remain consistent with 2.00 points per game and 2.00 goals scored. The possible absence of Gjivai Zechiel is unlikely to significantly disrupt their momentum.
consistency, the visitors look well positioned.
Given Utrecht's far better form and strong H2H record, we are tempted to bet on Away Win, alongside Utrecht Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals (71% H2H).
This Netherlands Eredivisie match will be played on Sunday 26 April 2026 at 11:15.
