Willem II will be aiming to give fans some cheer when they face an in-form Excelsior side in what could be another entertaining encounter. The Tricolores have already conceded 10 goals in their opening three games, highlighting their defensive problems, although they showed attacking promise in a 2-2 draw with Heerenveen, registering 1.59 xG. Culum, Lachkar, Schuurman and Zarrouk are all ruled out through injury. Willem II have seen BTTS in 80% of their last 10 home games.
Excelsior, meanwhile, arrive in confident mood after edging Sparta Rotterdam 2-1 in the local derby. Nesto Groen is pushing for a starting berth after coming off the bench to score the winner. The Rotterdammers have won three consecutive away games, scoring an impressive 2.60 goals per match during their last five on the road. Their away games have also averaged four goals across the last 10.
Excelsior have won three straight away games and look stronger defensively. Therefore, we are tempted to bet on Away Win, alongside BTTS and Over 2.5 goals (Excelsior’s away matches average 4.00 goals across their last 10).
This Netherlands Eredivisie match will be played on Saturday 5 September 2026 at 20:00.
