REF’s picks

Backing Excelsior Rotterdam in the draw no bet market makes sense as they host Groningen with growing momentum and home advantage at Woudestein. Ruben den Uil's side showed their resilience by holding Ajax recently, whereas Groningen have struggled defensively on their travels.

1. 1Excelsior enter this fixture in better overall form with recent positive results against strong opposition like Ajax.
2. 2Groningen's backline has looked vulnerable away from home, conceding frequently in recent weeks.
3. 3However, Groningen carry a decent scoring threat through their counter-attacks, meaning a tight stalemate remains a real risk.
