Best Tip: Both teams to score

Willem II should have reason to feel positive ahead of this fixture and, funnily enough, so might Excelsior. The bookmakers can't split them and neither can we – there's no obvious victor in this fixture. So our tip looks to the both teams to score market, where there's far more clarity. The form statistics, past head-to-head (H2H) records and bookmakers odds below are all pointing towards both sides scoring, and we think that's the tip to go with here.
