Insights:
  • Excelsior Maassluis haven’t played a single 0-0 game away.

9-3-12 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Excelsior Maassluis when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 24 matches are 29-50 (scored/conceded).

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
