Nijmegen vs Excelsior PREDICTION & BETTING TIPS - 13/08/2023

Gofferstadion will host Sunday’s Eredivisie game between Nijmegen and Excelsior, the two teams who aim to make a flying start to the new campaign. NEC enjoyed a fruitful preseason, with the team beating the likes of Venezia, Al-Taawon, Altrincham, and RKC and they must be brimming with confidence ahead of their opener. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be new signings Koki Ogawa, who was scoring goals for fun during his speall with J-League side Yokohama, while midfielder Dirk Proper misses out through suspension.

Excelsior, on the other hand, defeated Waregem thanks to Noah Naujoks’ late goal in their last warm-up game, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Nijmegen, who reinforce the squad earlier this summer. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the away team, home win should be considered as NEC outplayed Excelsior 3-0 in their last encounter in the Dutch top flight.
