Correct Score Prediction

Excelsior Excelsior logo 0 - 1 Eagles logo Eagles

GAE are available at +850 to win by a 1-0 scoreline. Correct score betting allows us to bet at bigger odds and it’s also a fun type of wager.

Player Prop Picks

Top Pick: Melle Meulensteen Over 0.5 Shots On Target +110 BetMGM logo

Melle Meulensteen (GAE) has tallied at least one shot on goal in six of his past nine Eredivisie games away from home. We think that some value can be landed by wagering on Shots on Target and you can secure +110 that he goes over the line.

Latest Melle Meulensteen Player Prop Odds

Victor Edvardsen to Score +260 BetMGM logo

Victor Edvardsen (GAE) has racked up two goals in his past five Eredivisie games on the road. We think there’s value in backing him for an Anytime Goalscorer prop bet at +260 which will hopefully see him find the net.

Corners Prediction

Under 9.5 Corners -100 BetMGM logo

All of the past eight Excelsior home matches have seen the 9.5 Total Corners line not covered, with the same thing happening in the previous two  Go Ahead Eagles games. The Total Corners line could be on the high side based on the stats and -100 is available to back.
