Excelsior vs Heerenveen Prediction & Betting tips
Excelsior :
Excelsior is only a budget of 6 million. The Kralingers are now already in its third season at the highest level and this season seem to get a lot harder than the past two years. Mitchell van der Gaag and his team is the eleventh since the Kralingers are recently under the playoffs stripe. The gap between the lowest four classified teams in the Premier League is only one point and Excelsior can sometimes be the child of the bill. ADO Den Haag is indeed the lags of the Eredivisie, but the Hagenezen have better equipment than Excelsior Roda JC and Go Ahead Eagles. Since Roda JC and Go Ahead Eagles in recent weeks have occasionally managed to win their matches are still nine do-or-die games for the team from Kralingen.
Excelsior came last week does not go beyond a 1-1 draw by visiting AZ. The Alkmaar played last week Thursday night against Cambuur in the cup and eventually went through penalty kicks to the finals. Excelsior thus took on a weary AZ, which anyway had busy weeks behind us, but the Kralingers did not win at the AFAS Stadion. Although Kralingers some great opportunities were at the AFAS Stadion Excelsior therefore held only one point on the trip to Alkmaar, much to the disappointment of Mitchell van der Gaag. “We have lost two points here on the basis of race. If you get so many chances, then you should blame yourself that you did not win here. ”
The Excelsior has twelve league games and not won in the playoffs can easily fly out against a team from the Jupiler League. The problem is Van der Gaag in the fact that the Kralingers leave this season often points against teams that are much better than the Kralingers. So did not win the team from Kralingen twice Roda JC and was also once beaten by Go Ahead Eagles and ADO Den Haag. Van der Gaag and his team is to be an uphill struggle to maintain themselves directly because Excelsior takes this season at the Kyocera Stadium on ADO Den Haag, but has already finished the matches against the other competitors.
Probable lineup Excelsior
Hahn; Karami, Mattheij, Massop, the Wise; Koolwijk, Fredy, Faik; Elbers, Dunes, Bruins.
Heerenveen :
Like Excelsior played last matchday Heerenveen right. The Frisians took the last week Friday night at home against Go Ahead Eagles and that should be no problem on paper. After the 3-0 win over Roda JC had Heerenveen supporters are confident that Go Ahead Eagles would go slicing at the Abe Lenstra Stadium, but the Deventer held up well in Friesland: 2-2. Although Heerenveen a 0-1 five minutes into a 2-1 lead omboog conceded the Frisians in the final stage still a goal. The equalizer of Go Ahead Eagles was due to a blunder by Erwin Mulder, but Jurgen Streppel would not push all the blame in the shoes of his keeper: “We had at that time already had to stand for 3-1 or 4-1. If you do not have to get personal fouls you break the trigger and that happened. Totally unnecessary. ”
Although the Frisians still stand well with a view to the playoffs, we can surely say that the lack of Stijn Schaars is very large. Was scarce this season fourteen times in the basic team Streppel and the Frisians won seven matches with scarce at the base and played three times alike. In the last eight games of Heerenveen took Schaars injuries place on the stand and did the Frisians there to win only two and played Heerenveen twice alike. The return of Schaars is near, but it is quite remarkable to mention how important the veteran so at this Heerenveen. Without Schaars knew the Frisians for example, not to beat Willem II (2-1 loss) and also against Go Ahead managed Heerenveen do not hesitate to write to three points.
Probable lineup SC Heerenveen
Mulder; Marzo, St. Juste, Aachen, Bijker; Ødegaard, Amersfoort, Kobayashi; Zeneli, Ghoochannejhad, Larsson.
