Prediction on Excelsior vs Groningen
Although Groningen are in good form, the bookies see Excelsior as slight favorites in this matchup.
The fact that Excelsior will play in front of their fans is a big advantage for them, but all we know is that cup matches are always unpredictable and can have surprise endings.
Last time, when teams met each other in a KNVB Bekker match (19/12/2021), Groningen triumphed over their opponents after beating them in extra time (4:2).
This season, Excelsior had one victory, five ties and two defeats at home in the league fixtures.
Considering that Groningen players are better condition, both mentally and physically, we predict Groningen will win or draw in this match.
Prediction: Groningen to win or draw
Both teams scored at least one goal in their last five matches in all competitions. We expect that the “Both teams to score” bet will work here.
We pick BTTS – yes for our second prediction.
