Heerenveen vs Excelsior Prediction (16.10.2026)

Currently, the teams Excelsior and Heerenveen are next to each other in the temporary standings of the championship in the Netherlands, with both teams in the middle of the table. It is difficult to say which of the two teams is currently in better form. Still, Excelsior has not won in four consecutive league matches, and perhaps more concerning is that just a few days ago, they resumed their participation in the championship after a long break for national teams with a heavy defeat of 1:5 against Groningen. Interestingly, until now, in their four away matches this season in the league, Excelsior has not lost.

Heerenveen also lost their match when the championship resumed a few days ago, but they were visiting the champions PSV Eindhoven. Otherwise, last season, when the two teams met, the victory went to Heerenveen on two occasions, but both times it did not come easily, with a final score of 2:1. Additionally, four of the last five encounters between these two teams have surpassed the 2.5 goal mark.

However, when we talk about Excelsior, surpassing this mark is quite common, and it has happened in a total of nine consecutive matches for the team. This leads me to believe that we could see more goals this time as well, so my prediction will be for over 2.5 goals in the match.
