Jong PSV vs Excelsior Match Preview

Jong PSV is ranked at the 18th place with just 17 points so far and having more games than points is usually a bad signal for how a team is doing. They come after being winless in the last five matches with two draws and three losses but even worse, they won just one of their last 11 games. And that win came against a team worse than them, Helmond.

They are having trouble scoring goals, with only 25 so far making them the third-worst side in the league and on the other hand they have a poor defense with 42 goals conceded. They managed to keep only one clean sheet in their last five home games.

Excelsior is ranked at the 7th place with 36 points and comes after two wins two draws and a loss in the last five matches. They are sitting on the verge of the playoff zone and that is mostly because of the fact that they failed to win any of their last three games.

However, they have a good chance here to bounce back and strengthen their position for a playoff spot. They took twice the lead against Telstar but they did not manage to keep it. With some extra caution in defense now I think they could do much better against a modest rival.

In conclusion, I think Excelsior can win this match or get at least a draw. They are superior to their rivals and will be motivated to claim three points here, which are crucial for their goal. Excelsior won the previous h2h this season by a clear 5-2 result. Jong PSV is just too inexperienced this season and I do not see them stopping Excelsior now.
