📊 Match recap and data context
Excelsior's recent form counted for little at Van Donge & De Roo Stadion as FC Groningen dominated to win 5-1. Our model backed Excelsior at 41 percent probability; the pick missed decisively. Groningen struck early through Marco Rente in the seventh minute and never relented. Excelsior converted a penalty from Irakli Yegoian in the thirty-sixth minute, but an own goal by Stijn van Gassel three minutes later shifted momentum entirely toward the visitors.
