Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest we don't have an obvious winner for this clash, but the evidence does point towards the conclusion that NAC and Excelsior will score 2 or more goals between them. We've seen goals when they've gone head-to-head historically, and neither Carl Hoefkens or Ruben den Uil has subjected their supporters to too many 0-0s recently either. The bookies predict over 1.5 goals too, with odds of 1.22 equating to about a 79% probability.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think NAC are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 49% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 1.91.
