Excelsior vs Go Ahead Eagles prediction

THE FORECAST

GO Ahead Eagles sit five points clear of Excelsior in the table and carry a superior attacking record (2.1 goals scored per game vs 1.5), making them the stronger side despite a heavy injury list that includes five absentees. Excelsior's poor recent form (four losses in five) and their relegation-zone proximity add pressure, though home advantage keeps the draw very much in play. The cool, low-wind conditions are unlikely to significantly favour either side, and both teams have adequate rest heading into this fixture.
