Europe-chasing Utrecht are away to relegation-threatened Excelsior this weekend as the Dutch Eredivisie enters round 31. They come into the weekend in seventh place in the standings and 16 points better off than their 16th-placed hosts. Read on to find our prediction for this match.
Time is running out for Excelsior, and with four games left to play, they do not have any more wiggle room in matters survival. The Kralingers sit in the relegation zone, third from bottom tied on 28 points with Volendam, who are safe on account of having a better goal difference.
As they are two points adrift of 14th, Excelsior need to win all their remaining games to be sure of survival. Ruben den Uil’s men haven’t won in eight matches and have avoided defeat just twice in this run.
One of those instances was last time out as they drew 2-2 with PEC.
Utrecht last lost to Excelsior in October of 2015. The two have played each other 12 times since then, with the visitors winning seven times. One of those victories, a 4-1 hammering, was achieved in the reverse fixture this season.
With the contrasting form between the two, Utrecht look destined for another victory. Ron Jans’ men have lost just once in their last nine outings and have won six times.
After a 4-3 loss away to champions PSV, Ultreg bounced back with a 4-1 hammering of Telstar. They have racked up 44 points and are in position to qualify for Europe.

Our Excelsior vs Utrecht Prediction
Our prediction for Excelsior v Utrecht is that Utrecht wins. This match sees two teams that have had contrasting seasons face off with very much to play for. Utrecht are angling to secure a place in Europe, while Excelsior are looking to avoid being relegated.
The visitors come into this match in better form, not only through the season but also in recent weeks.

It is also important to remember that Utrecht haven’t lost to Excelsior since 2015.
