PSV to Win and Over 2.5 Goals
PSV are in great form recently and won seven of their last ten fixtures. They are undefeated in seven games. As for the goals market, there is an 80% chance that this match will produce over 2.5 goals.
Excelsior +2.5 Goals Handicap
Excelsior covered the 2.5 goals handicap in seven of the last eight meetings with Ajax. Also, the same trend happened in Excelsior’s last 12 games as they are unbeaten in those games.
Correct Score Group Bet 0-1, 0-2, 0-3
Thre times in the last five meetings between these clubs, one of these scores were the final result. Last season PSV won seven times by one of these scores.
Excelsior
Excelsior got promoted to the Eredivisie last season after finishing sixth in the Eerste Divisie and going through the playoffs. The Red Blacks had a dream start to their season winning both of their opening games.
In their last game, Excelsior beat Vitesse Arnhem 3-1 despite being completely dominated by their opponents. In detail, Excelsior had 40% of ball possession but managed to score on the counter-attack three times and picked up all points available in the game.
PSV Eindhoven
Likewise, PSV have won their first two games and will enter this match as favorites to register their third victory. After winning the Dutch Super Cup by beating Ajax in the beginning of the season, PSV continued their great performances in the league.
Moreover, PSV are one game away from reaching the Champions League group stage. Ruud Van Nistelrooy has done a great job with his team who have scored nine times in the two league games. PSV look very determined to win the league this season after they failed to do so last season.
Obviously, PSV are the favorites to win this game with odds of 1.26. Consequently, to fatten our profits, we will combine the PSV win with over 2.5 total goals.

Luuc de Jong is in his second spell at PSV. The Dutch international had his best career record with PSV between 2014 and 2019 when he scored 94 goals in 159 games. We predict de Jong to score anytime in this match.
For Excelsior, Jacky Donkor with a muscle injury and Nikolas Agrafiotis are both doubtful for this game.
On PSV’s side, Vertessen, Junior, Vinicius, and Boscagli are all doubtful. While Madueke is out with an unknown injury.
