- Excelsior have the most dropped points from leading position (10) in Eredivisie
FC Volendam and Excelsior should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
FC Volendam form and stats

In their previous game, the manager Kohler led his FC Volendam to a defeat away at RKC Waalwijk. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Kras Stadion. Heartbreak for Volendam in their last match as RKC Waalwijk's Oukili scored the winning goal deep into overtime. Defender Benamar got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.45/10. Benamar scored one goal, hit one key pass and won 3 of 4 duels.
Ahead of that match, FC Volendam won a home game hosting FC Utrecht (1-0).There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for FC Volendam as they are travelling to their away game against Ajax in the Eredivisie. That match is four days after this one.
FC Volendam have conceded 6 from these games.
Excelsior form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Eredivisie travels is 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat.
Excelsior's previous game was their home loss versus PEC Zwolle (2-4). That defeat was their first after four consecutive league rounds winning points. As you can tell from the result, the match against PEC Zwolle was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? Midfielder Baas was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.21. Baas scored one goal, served one assist, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
A 0-0 draw at Vitesse's stadium before that.The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The KNVB Beker trip to FC Den Bosch.
Excelsior's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 6 goals from these trips.
