Betting suggestion:

This match has the potential to be one of the most lopsided of the Eerste Divisie 2024/2025 round, as it is a true clash of opposites. Excelsior sits in second place, boasts the best home record, has the third-best attack, and the strongest defence in the league. Meanwhile, Vitesse is bottom of the table and holds the worst defensive record, with even poorer performances when playing away. Considering this, our bet will be on **Excelsior to Score in Both Halves**, as the hosts tend to find the net more frequently in the first half of their home matches, while Vitesse concedes more goals in the second half of their away games.
