Draw

A close contest was expected in the first leg between Excelsior and Heracles. However, the Eerste Divisie team were able to make the most of momentum and home advantage to get a comprehensive lead. The substantial lead will allow Excelsior to sit back and defend while Heracles had to come out with the guns blazing from the word go. This will present opportunities on the counter for the visitors.

Total goals under 2.5

There have been more than 2.5 goals in back-to-back games for Heracles, but it is largely down to the defensive fragilities. Heracles are likely to keep things open from the word go, as they will be chasing the game first whistle. Excelsior will have opportunities to pick off the opposition, but they may sit too deep. This will result in a game that has less than 2.5 goals.

Both teams to score – yes

Heracles will be chasing the game in order to have any chance of staying in the division. Excelsior might have kept a clean sheet in the first leg, but the same cannot be expected in an away match from the second division outfit.
