REF’s picks

First half under 1.5 goals at 1.67 offers value as both teams are expected to start cautiously. Relegation anxiety usually breeds tentative early exchanges.

1. 1Both squads enter this fixture under pressure, increasing the likelihood of a cagey start.
2. 2Excelsior's recent confidence crisis points to a slow, defensive opening phase.
3. 3A sudden defensive lapse could easily produce an unexpected early breakthrough.
