Excelsior vs Jong PSV Prediction & Betting tips
Excelsior lost points for the third time this season and with that the period title has suddenly fallen far out of sight for the Kralingers. On Friday evening, the closing party Young PSV will visit. The Rotterdammers are obliged by their stand to keep full loot in Rotterdam, but Cambuur had a hard time last Monday. Who will win this match at Woudestein?
Excelsior:
The Ricardo Moniz team is still unbeaten at home this season, but lost points in three of the four away games. As a result, Excelsior is now four points behind leader De Graafschap and the club has dropped to fifth place. That while Excelsior plays good football. The team has high-quality players, but especially when it comes to defense, it is not like a house. The back line defends carelessly and that has already resulted in eleven goals against in seven games. These are more goals than other title candidates De Graafschap and NAC Breda added together. No pleasant figures for the star of Kralingen.
Last Friday a decent squatter was on the program. Excelsior had to visit NAC Breda and the Rat Verlegh Stadium was connected to the top of the competition. It was a squatter on paper, but once on the field the game could not be seen from both sides. With a score of 0-0, both trainers had to motivate their team to perform better. After more than an hour, Ivan Ilic scored the 1-0 for NAC, but after a tactical conversion from Moniz, he brought in Elias Már Omarsson. The Icelander had lost his basic place, but was immediately important with a goal. Yet things went wrong for the Rotterdammers in the final phase. Sydney van Hooijdonk made the winning. Two minutes later, Luigi Bruins went red after a big tackle. Excelsior lost the connection to the top and has something to make up for in-house.
Young PSV:
Young PSV is the biggest disappointment of the Kitchen Champion Division. That is the conclusion that we can draw after seven rounds. Peter Uneken’s team loses points every week and that is strange. Young PSV was the revelation of the second level last season and finished third in the competition. The team of Dennis Haar only lost seven of the thirty-eight matches. After only seven rounds of play, Jong PSV is now on five defeats. The big difference between this year and last year is the players who have penetrated to the first team of PSV or elsewhere. Cody Gakpo, Bart Ramselaar and Mauro Junior are examples of players who were important last year. Players with a lot of individual quality are missing and the new batch cannot fill this gap.
Nevertheless, the performance of Jong PSV is gradually improving. Young AZ was won, but sub-top player Cambuur also had a hard time last Monday. The promises from Eindhoven even had a view of the victory and did not play badly. When Cambuur picked up a red card, it seemed to become even easier for Uneken’s team. Young PSV did not handle the man-more situation well and even fell behind. Calvin Mac-Intosh scored the 1-0 and that was the only goal.
