Prediction: 1-3
Den Haag
Excelsior Maassluis will look to claim a major scalp in the KNVB Beker last 16 when they take on Den Haag Sportpark Dijkpolder on Tuesday afternoon. The Tweede Divisie side defeated DEM 1-0 in the previous round, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Darije Kalezic’s troops.
The Eerste side, on the other hand, rolled over De Graafschap 5-3 in the opening match of the year and given their attacking potential, we believe that punters from all around the world can find value in betting on the away team. A man to keep an eye on in the visiting side will be veteran Henk Veerman, who has found his goal-scoring touch of late. Excelsior Maassluis should have pacey winger Joel Ideho at bay as well as the 20-year-old has been producing excellent display in the Eerste Divisie this term.
Highlighted Team (Den Haag):
Ado Den Haag is a professional Dutch club based in Hague, the seat of the Netherlands government. De Ooievaars (The Storks) welcome their rivals at Cars Jeans Stadion, which can hold up to 15,000 spectators. Founded back in February, 1905, Den Haag are well known for their yellow shirts with green stripes, while their away kit is mainly sky blue.
De Ooievaars were the dominant force in the Netherlands Football League Championship during the World War II, with the team winning two domestic trophies (1941/42, and 1942/43). Den Haag have two KNVB Cup titles as well as they won the Dutch Cup in both 1967/68 and 1974/75 seasons. Legendary Netherlands tactician Dick Advocaat played for Den Haag on two occasions.
He scored seven goals in 147 league appearances from 1966 to 1973, and he returned to the club in 1979. Ajax and Feyenoord are considered the club’s biggest rivals. The rivalry between the clubs has become big due to hooligan fights before and after matches.
