Excelsior to get back to winning ways
Excelsior had started the Eredivisie season in good form as they won their first two games but three defeats on the bounce since then have somewhat killed that momentum. Their fans will be pleased to hear that we fancy them to get back at it here. They entertain a FC Emmen side who have taken just four points from their opening five matches on Saturday evening and, quite frankly, it's unlikely the visitors will be looking forward to the trip too much; their record against Excelsior is poor with the hosts having won three of the last four meetings between the sides. We think that will become four in five this weekend.
Going hard on the total goals market
Call us bonkers but we're backing this game to feature over 3.5 goals, which whilst not nailed on to happen will give you a handsome looking betslip and, more importantly, it's a bet that we think has more than a puncher's chance of coming in. Each of Excelsior's last four games have gone over the aforementioned 3.5 goal mark with a total of 21 goals seen across those games. For Emmen, three of their last five matches have passed the 3.5 mark; their goal total in that five game period sits at 19, which is 3.8. With Excelsior sitting on a game average of 5.3, we think this is an ambitious shout but a reasonable one too. Got doubts? Opt for over 2.5.

Will Excelsior and Emmen deliver a show of goals?
Excelsior have seen more goals in their Eredivisie matches than all but PSV so far this season and here they welcome a Emmen side that can best be described as an end-to-end team with a harsher assessment being that they're wide open. Either way, from a neutral's view this game could be a belter.
Excelsior have been on a losing streak heading into this game but it's not all bad news. As this game nears they are only missing one player – namely Nikolas Agrafiotis.
Excelsior Predicted lineup – van Gassel, Horemans, Tjoe a On, el Yaakoubi, Nieuwpoort, Fein, Ayoub, Driouech, Goudmijn, Azarkan, van Duinen
Emmen already don't have the best record in the world against Excelsior and their hopes of getting a result aren't helped by a few absences; Mart Lieder, Metehan Guclu and Maikel Kieftenbeld are all out whilst question marks remain over backup keeper Kyan van Dorp.
Emmen Predicted lineup – Oelschllagel, Veendorp, Arujo, Veldmate, Burnet, Vlak, Bernadou, Mendes, Diemers, ter Haar Romeny, Zivkovic
