Football Bet of the Day: Defences to excel at Excelsior

Not So Beautiful Orange: Excelsior look set for another tight home game

"Mitchell van der Gaag's men have scored just nine times in 11 appearances at Woudestein Stadium"

Back Under 2.5 Goals @ 1.9720/21 in Excelsior v NAC

After a high-scoring winner on the continent yesterday, Tobias Gourlay's hoping for a more quietly successful afternoon in the Netherlands

Excelsior v NAC
Sunday 13:30

Braga 3 Setubal 1 in Portugal last night brought us a most welcome win. We're finishing the week by crossing the line. Because over in the free-scoring Netherlands we've seen a match with potential for Under 2.5 Goals.

Twelfth-placed Excelsior are the 18-team Eredivisie's worst home team. Mitchell van der Gaag's men have scored just nine times in 11 appearances at Woudestein Stadium.

Newly promoted from the Eerstedivisie, 15th-placed NAC Breda have been just as unprolific on the road. Stijn Vreven's men have scored nine in 11 away from home. At the other end, their defence has been better than their lowly league position might suggest: 17 conceded in 11 makes them the Eredivisie's eighth-best away defence. With six of their most recent nine away days produced Under 2.5 Goals, that's our bet of the day.
