Prediction Sittard – Excelsior: 1 + Goal
Teams on equal points for a direct clash in the second half of the table. Sittard with only one win in their last 5 home games, which nevertheless came against Alkmaar. A much higher league position, however, regarding Overs, which have reached 15 in 23 matches, in line with Alkmaar and Feyenoord. Excelsior is one of the least prolific teams in attack away from home, with just 12 goals scored. However, they failed to score in only one away game out of 5, even managing to score two goals against Ajax.
Four wins for the home team in the last 5 meetings, with the guests not taking home the 3 points since 2005. It is unlikely that the statistic will change on this occasion, with the 1 sign still favored. Our prediction goes to the 1 + Goal combo. Best odds for Marathonbet at 4.10, with Sisal and Goldbet at 4.00.
Prediction Mainz – Hamburg: Over 2.5
Mainz’s run was interrupted after 3 consecutive wins, though they have moved out of the relegation zone and are +2 over Werder Bremen. The league situation remains difficult, also considering the crowding with 5 teams within 5 points. But the strength, at least in recent matchdays, remains the defense. Only 2 goals conceded in 5 home games, with 3 matches ending with the No Goal sign. Two consecutive wins have relaunched Hamburg into the upper part of the table, now 5 points from Freiburg. Five games without defeat, but with away form that remains in the relegation zone. Only 6 points earned in 10 away games and with just 6 goals scored. This is the worst figure in the German league.

Only one win for Hamburg in the last 5 matches at Mainz. The odds point to the home team, but the match could also head towards a draw. The Over 2.5 sign, present in 4 out of 5 meetings, should not disappoint expectations. Best odds at 1.80 for Marathonbet, Sisal and Goldbet.
Prediction Brest – Marseille: 2 + Over 1.5
Brest’s descent towards the most dangerous area of the table continues unabated. The margin remains quite good, with Auxerre still 10 points behind. What is worrying is the few wins, with only one success in the last 5 games thanks to the victory over Lorient. Safety, at the moment, comes from home games, with only 3 defeats in 11 matches. The defense data is also good, capable of keeping clean sheets in recent matches against Monaco, Auxerre, and Lorient. Marseille is going through a difficult phase, with the last league win coming at the end of January and the coaching change in favor of Beye still to be evaluated. 5 defeats in 11 away matches, but with 16 goals scored in the last 5 away games, also considering the 0-9 against Bayeux.
Three wins for Marseille in the last 5 meetings, all ending with the Over sign. Brest’s defense could limit the damage, leading our prediction to the combo 2 + Over 1.5. Best odds from
