Willem II vs Excelsior Prediction (05.09.2026)

Definitely, Willem II does not feel particularly comfortable after their return to the top tier of the Netherlands. The team started the new season with two heavy defeats, but in the last round, they managed to earn their first point at home against Heerenveen. Now they have a new match in front of their own fans against Excelsior, which looks like one of the more manageable opponents.

So far, however, the visitors have been performing steadily and have won two of their first three league matches. Excelsior does not seem like a team that would be worried about playing away, and I even find them to be the more likely winner in this clash. On the other hand, Willem II will rely on their home advantage and should look for their attacking opportunities more boldly.

Excelsior seems capable of continuing their good performance and finding the net, but I also expect Willem II to have their chances. The hosts have already earned their first point, and with a more open game in front of their own fans, they should at least manage to score.
