Excelsior and Zwolle meet in a fixture that often produces chances, even if consistency has been lacking on both sides. Therefore, we believe that there is big value in betting on 2-2 draw. The hosts have taken just 1.00 point per game overall, with a modest 30% win rate, but home matches remain competitive, averaging 2.0 total goals. Defensively, Excelsior continue to allow pressure, conceding 1.40 goals per game and posting an xGA of 1.90, which explains their struggles to control matches for long spells. In team news, Excelsior boss Ruben den Uil has a full squad available, removing any selection headaches ahead of this encounter.
Zwolle travel to Rotterdam with slightly better momentum, picking up 1.50 points per game overall. Their matches are among the most open in the league, averaging a striking 4.30 goals, while away games jump to 6.0 goals per match. Defensive issues remain obvious, with 2.50 goals conceded per game and an xGA of 2.06. For the visitors, van der Haar, Schendelaar, and Velanas are all sidelined, limiting options in key areas.
As Zwolle’s away games are consistently high-scoring, we are tempted to bet on Over 2.5 goals. BTTS bets also seem appealing, alongside Over 9.5 corners as both sides will go for a win in Saturday's clash.
This Netherlands Eredivisie match will be played on Saturday 20 December 2025 at 17:45.
