Excelsior vs Den Haag Prediction & Betting Tips | 25/05/2024 | Football

Posted on by Matthew Reynolds

Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:

Excelsior

Excelsior

Den Haag

Den Haag

Van Donge & De Roo Stadion will host Saturday’s football game between Excelsior and Den Haag, the two teams who are eyeing a spot in the relegation playoffs final. Excelsior aim to defend their slim lead in front of home fans and we are positive that they will adopt a cautious approach in the return leg. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but all Hartjes, Pierie, Sanches Fernandes, and Seymor remain on the sidelines.

Darije Kalezic’s troops, on the other hand, are hungry for revenge, but given their shaky defence, home win should be considered. It has to be noted that Den Haag have conceded eleven goals in total in the previous five league matches. To make things even worse for the away team, defender Silvinho Esajas serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards.

Highlighted Team (Den Haag):

Den Haag

Ado Den Haag is a professional Dutch club based in Hague, the seat of the Netherlands government. De Ooievaars (The Storks) welcome their rivals at Cars Jeans Stadion, which can hold up to 15,000 spectators. Founded back in February, 1905, Den Haag are well known for their yellow shirts with green stripes, while their away kit is mainly sky blue.

De Ooievaars were the dominant force in the Netherlands Football League Championship during the World War II, with the team winning two domestic trophies (1941/42, and 1942/43). Den Haag have two KNVB Cup titles as well as they won the Dutch Cup in both 1967/68 and 1974/75 seasons. Legendary Netherlands tactician Dick Advocaat played for Den Haag on two occasions.

He scored seven goals in 147 league appearances from 1966 to 1973, and he returned to the club in 1979. Ajax and Feyenoord are considered the club’s biggest rivals. The rivalry between the clubs has become big due to hooligan fights before and after matches.
