Excelsior vs GO Ahead Eagles prediction, odds and how to watch

NEC Nijmegen dominated the basics but could not convert their chances, and GO Ahead Eagles nicked a point through Perr Schuurs inside two minutes. A draw neither side deserved in the way they probably wanted it.

Ajax dominated every statistical category but could not hold on, with Excelsior scoring twice from minimal chances to earn a 2-2 draw at the Johan Cruyff Arena. Connor Maguire gives his verdict on a result that has no excuse.

Utrecht claimed a 2-1 victory at Excelsior in the Eredivisie despite being outworked for large portions of the match, with Dani de Wit's stoppage-time finish settling it after Aymen Sliti had equalised for the hosts.

GO Ahead Eagles dominated every statistic that mattered but could only rescue a 1-1 draw against FC Groningen at home, with Søren Tengstedt equalising in the 82nd minute after Brynjólfur Willumsson's first-half goal threatened to hand the visitors all three points.

AZ Alkmaar put five past GO Ahead Eagles at home in the Eredivisie, with Ro-Zangelo Daal grabbing a brace as the hosts controlled the game from start to finish. GO Ahead arrived with injury problems and left with their defensive standards exposed.

PEC Zwolle have shipped 28 goals in their last ten Eredivisie matches and now face a GO Ahead Eagles side that has scored in every single one of their last five. Something has to give, and the smart money says it is Zwolle's backline.

SC Heerenveen have not won in five Eredivisie matches and now face an Excelsior side that has scored 25 goals across their last ten. Someone has to stop the bleeding.

Two leaky defences, a recent head-to-head that ended 2-2, and both sides desperately needing three points. Saturday at De Adelaarshorst has the makings of a proper match.
