PSV Eindhoven vs Excelsior Prediction and Betting Tips | January 14th 2025

PSV Eindhoven will face Excelsior at the Philips Stadion on Tuesday in the last 16 of the 2024-25 KNVB Beker campaign. The home side have had mixed results in recent games and will be looking to restart their winning streak this week.

They kicked off their cup campaign against Koninklijke last month and carried out an 8-0 dismantling of the Tweede Divisie outfit featuring goals from five different players including veteran winger Ivan Perisic, who netted a brace. PSV, who are 11-time winners of the domestic cup, were knocked out at this stage of the tournament last season after losing 1-0 to eventual champions Feyenoord.

Excelsior beat VVV-Venlo 2-1 in the first round of the KNVB Beker back in October featuring first-half strikes from Jerolldino Bergraaf and Noah Naujoks. They then beat Eindhoven 3-1 in the next round, with Zach Booth scoring a first-half double before Jacky Donkor came off the bench to seal the win deep into additional time.

The visitors faced Groningen at this stage of the competition last season, losing 2-0. Excelsior have a much more difficult test this time around.
