Excelsior are at home, and they’ve been pretty solid lately with two wins and two draws in their last five games, which shows they’re in decent shape and hard to beat. Utrecht, on the other hand, are really struggling right now-they’ve lost three matches in a row, including a heavy 4-1 defeat and a 4-3 loss, so they’re not in good form at all. When these two teams have met in the past, there have been some high-scoring games, like a 4-1 and a 2-2, suggesting goals could be on the cards again.

This match looks quite open, but given Utrecht’s poor run and Excelsior’s more consistent results, the home team seem to have the edge. Utrecht have been leaking goals, so Excelsior should be able to take advantage. I think Excelsior will win this one.
