Excelsior vs Breda Match Preview

Excelsior is ranked at the 8th place with 36 points and is in a free fall in the table, as they come in a pretty bad form with a single win, two draws and two losses over the last five matches. Now they occupy the last spot that gives a playoff ticket, but if they do not change something in their game they will soon be out, because the following teams are closing the gap.

In their last five matches, they have scored eight goals averaging at least a goal per game, but they showed awful defense as they conceded nine goals. In fact, they have the worst defense from the playoff-placed teams with 42 goals conceded in 23 games.

Breda, on the other hand, is ranked at the 6th place with 38 points. They come in a better form with two wins, two draws and a loss over the last five duels. But the recent loss against G.A. Eagles which is a direct rival for promotion was quite an upset for them so they will try to get back on track against a rival who is struggling.

Breda have scored seven goals in their last five matches, averaging at least a goal per game. The previous game earlier this season ended in a 2-1 win for Breda.

In conclusion, I think this match could have over 2.5 goals. Excelsior will play motivated here because they must win games and since they are playing at home, where they have scored 30 goals in 11 games, they are expected to score. Breda have to make use of the bad momentum and leaky defense of their rivals if they are to get a positive result here.
