G.A. Eagles vs Excelsior Match Preview

G.A. Eagles is ranked at 11th place with 12 points and comes after two wins a draw and two losses over the last five matches. They have been quite inconsistent until now as they failed to win two matches in a row and see themselves out of the playoff zone.

In the last five matches they have scored eight goals averaging at least a goal per game which is a big improvement from how they have started, having scored just two goals in their first four games. Playing at home should give them enough motivation here to try and dare more in order to aim for a much needed positive result. In fact they scored at least a goal in four of their last five home duels.

Excelsior, on the other hand, is ranked at 9th place with 13 points and comes after two wins a draw, and two loses over the last five matches. After a four games winless streak where they collected three losses and a single draw, they have finally bounced back winning the last three duels. Two games in Eerste Divisie and also advanced to the 1/16 in the Cup.

In these three games they scored seven goals and it seems the team is back to play their typical offensive football. With 19 goals scored so far they have one of the best offensive sides in the league averaging two goals per game but they also have a leaky defense having conceded 16 goals which is the second-worst defense from the top half teams.

In conclusion, I think this match can have over 2.5 goals. G.A. Eagles will try to earn a positive result while at home which would help them rise up in ranks and probably enter the playoff zone. Excelsior should be able to score at least a goal despite being on the road here as they have done in four out of five games played away from home so far.
