Excelsior hosts Oss in round 11 of the Dutch Eerste Divisie. The match will be played on Tuesday, November 10th at Van Donge & De Roo Stadion (Rotterdam)
Excelsior had to play two last rounds in a row on the road. And the team coped with the task perfectly and brought home four points. In general, the team didn’t lose in the last four matches and won two of them. Before that, the Red-Blacks had a streak of three defeats in a row, but as we see, coach Dikkhuizen managed to take control of the situation and lift the team out of the mini-crisis.
Oss started the championship disgustingly, having earned only one point in the first five rounds. Then it showed some signs of life and managed to gain two victories by playing a draw between them. Victories were achieved at home, but the team earned only one point in four away matches. There is nothing to be surprised at since Oss does not know how to get points in the proper amount outside of its Frans Heesen Stadion. For example, it lost 10 out of 15 away matches in the last championship and won only once. Nothing has changed in this championship, and it will not change because the team is quite young and lacks experience.
Excelsior is gaining shape, and only two points separate it from the playoff group. It is striking that the team lost in three out of four home matches. Well, let’s look at its opponents. The Red-Blacks had to confront the fourth De Graafschap and the leading Almere, and Telstar is not a gift either. Nevertheless, the last home match was won, and it's time to consolidate the success. Moreover, Oss is quite a welcome guest for Excelsior. The Rotterdam club beat Oss in eight of 12 last home meetings. And I will explain my choice of scoring. It is generally accepted that Dutch football is one of the most productive in Europe. Well, it is so. But firstly, not all matches end with five goals scored. Secondly, both teams played with Under 2.5 goals scored in the last four matches in the championship, as if trying to refute this thesis. In the last nine head-to-head meetings, the opponents have not scored more than four goals. They will probably not score this time either, while Rotterdam fans will rejoice at the victory of their team.
Prediction for the match: Excelsior to win and Under 4.5 goals scored

The hosts look significantly stronger in all respects, and they will probably gain victory in this meeting, but it is unlikely to please the fans with extremely high scoring.
