Emmen

Betting suggestion:

This will be a crucial match for both clubs as Excelsior aims to extend their lead as second-placed in pursuit of direct promotion, while Emmen seeks to recover and keep their playoff hopes alive. Interestingly, this will be a clash between the second-best home team and the third-best away team in the Eerste Divisie 2024/2025. Although Excelsior is the league's top shooter, the team that fires the most shots on target and boasts the second-best attack in the competition, both teams are also known for their strong defences. Considering this, we will bet on Under 3.0 Asian Goals, a bet that has only failed in 7 of Excelsior's 17 home matches and in just 4 of Emmen's 17 away games.
