1.71Tip and bets
Excelsior is in excellent shape and will definitely strive for victory at home against its main rival. The championship leader scores a lot and regularly, and it is unlikely that the visitors will have the opportunity to play reliably in defense today. However, Volendam also clearly has its own plans for points, and it should not be difficult for the visitors to respond, as there are high-level players in the attack.
We believe that the match will be productive. Forecast - total over 3.5 goals . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.05
Bet on the outcome
Excelsior are undoubtedly the favourites of the match – the hosts are in excellent shape, have a very significant advantage in class, and have won seven of their eight home matches this season. Volendam also shows quality football, but in away matches problems happen regularly, and in the last two matches at Van Donge and De Roo the “orange” did not take a single point.
The bet is Excelsior victory. This bet is offered at 1.79
Bet on corners
Excelsior are the favourites and will certainly play first – the hosts should win confidently on corners.
The bet is Excelsior to win on corners. This bet is offered at 1.61
