Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

It may not be what the neutrals want to hear, but we don't predict a goal-fest here. The statistics suggest Excelsior and Telstar both struggle to score on a consistent basis, and the odds are leaning towards there being fewer than 2 goals in total as they go head-to-head. We think they're probably right and, without an obvious outright winners to back, under 2.5 goals seems a good bet.
