APWin Prediction

Correct Score: 1 - 0

APWin experts have analyzed the main betting markets and selected high-value bets.

👉 Our prediction is: Excelsior win or draw

We feel strongly about Excelsior's chances of leaving with a point, or maybe even more. That is why our betting tip is Excelsior to win or draw on the Double Chance market.

Excelsior has shown considerable courage and determination in their recent away performances, while Heerenveen's form has not been the most convincing. So while an away win might be too much to ask for, Excelsior is more than capable of collecting a point in this match.

👉 Our prediction is: Excelsior to win the 1st half

Excelsior is a tough opponent to face, particularly away from home. They have enough dangerous attacking weapons to deal some damage up front, while the defence is quite solid as well.

It would not be a shock if they come in and give their hosts Heerenveen a bit of a scare in the early going.

That is why we recommend taking Excelsior to win the first half.
