Den Haag vs Excelsior Prediction: 22/5/2024

Expect fireworks when Den Haag and Excelsior clash at Bingoal Stadion in the first leg of the Eredivisie relegation playoffs. Den Haag earned their spot in this matchup by defeating De Graafschap in a double-header, entering Wednesday’s game with high confidence. However, they will have to contend without defender Amir Absalem, who is suspended.

Excelsior, on the other hand, ended the 2023/2024 Eredivisie season in 16th place. Given their poor away record, we’re inclined to favor the Eerste Divisie side, Den Haag, in this encounter. Excelsior will be missing Hartjes, Pierie, and Seymor due to injuries. Notably, in their playoff meeting two years ago, Excelsior triumphed over Den Haag, so the hosts are eager for revenge.

Prediction: 2-1
