Expected score: Excelsior '31 2-1 ACV
Excelsior '31 host ACV in a Derde Divisie clash that pits two of the division's sharpest attacks against each other. Both sides sit in the top five, separated by just two points, and both have found the net 14 times in their last five outings. This is a match where goals look likely, and for fantasy players, the attacking talent on show should provide plenty of opportunity.
Team form
Excelsior '31
Excelsior '31 have been electric in recent weeks, winning four of their last five games and scoring 14 goals across that run. Their 5-0 demolition of SC Genemuiden on 17 October showcased their attacking prowess, though they did slip up away at ADO '20, losing 1-3. At home, they've been particularly potent, and their season average of 2.55 goals scored per game ranks them among the division's most dangerous sides. Defensively, they've been solid too, conceding just 0.6 per game over their last five matches.
ACV
ACV sit second in the table and have matched Excelsior '31's attacking output over the same five-game window, also scoring 14 goals. Their 4-1 away win at Hoogeveen on 17 October was impressive, though they've shown some vulnerability at the back—conceding 8 goals in five games, including a 2-4 home defeat to VV Scherpenzeel. They average 1.00 goal conceded per season, suggesting that recent leakiness may be a blip, but it's worth monitoring for fantasy purposes.
Head-to-head
The head-to-head record is mixed. Excelsior '31 won 3-0 at home in November 2021 and 2-0 away in May 2022, but ACV claimed a 2-0 away victory in October 2022. Their most recent meeting, in April 2023, ended 1-1. That draw hints at a competitive balance, though Excelsior '31's home record in this fixture is strong.
Key factors
Both teams average over 2.4 goals per game this season, and both have proven they can score in bunches. Excelsior '31's home advantage is real—they've won three of their last four at this ground with impressive margins. ACV's slight defensive fragility in recent weeks could be exploited, but their attacking quality means they're unlikely to be shut out. The midfield battle will be crucial; whichever side controls possession and transitions will likely create the clearer chances. Fantasy players should eye the attacking assets from both sides, as a high-scoring affair looks probable.
Prediction
This is a tight contest, with Excelsior '31 holding a marginal edge thanks to home advantage and their recent form. Both teams have the firepower to win, but the hosts' four victories in five games and their strong defensive record over that span give them a slight upper hand. ACV remain a genuine threat—they're second for a reason—but the momentum favours the hosts. Expect an open, attacking game where both sides get chances.
Back Excelsior '31 to edge this one, though ACV are far from a pushover. The match has all the hallmarks of a high-scoring encounter, so fantasy players should prepare for attacking returns from both sides. A home win looks the most likely outcome, with both teams capable of finding the net.
