Excelsior duel FC Dordrecht for kudos and success.
- Excelsior have the the best goal difference (+6) in Eerste Divisie
- FC Dordrecht have failed to keep a clean sheet in all their matches.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
This pitch has artifical turf, which is not FC Dordrecht's usual surface at their own stadium. When playing on artifical turf FC Dordrecht have performed like this: Played 23 matches with the output 3 wins, 4 draws and 16 defeats with the goal numbers 26-76 (scored/conceded).
Excelsior form and stats
Two Eerste Divisie home games so far for Excelsior, who are yet to win here at Van Donge & De Roo Stadion. Only 1 point so far.
A strong away win for Excelsior against FC Den Bosch the last match, as Reuven Niemeijer and Thijs Dallinga (4) were on target. The forward Thijs Dallinga was named "man of the match" for Excelsior with the rating of 10.0/10. Dallinga scored four goals and hit one key pass. As mentioned above, Excelsior "killed" FC Den Bosch in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency. Thijs Dallinga was absolutely essential when Excelsior beat FC Den Bosch 5-0, scoring four goals.
A strong away win before that one, visiting Jong Ajax and winning 2-1.The home team are expected to win this game about three out of four times, according to the bookmaker odds. When checking the database for Excelsior home games with this odds we find four games with a similar winning chance. Resulting in three wins, one draw and zero defeats. Looking at the victories, three matches were won by at least two goals.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Excelsior at home in the league. 1 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
FC Dordrecht form and stats
FC Dordrecht are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Eerste Divisie, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).
Dordrecht have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 238 minutes ago. S. N'Diaye was the goal scorer.
Dordrecht might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. VVV-Venlo proved too strong as FC Dordrecht slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Riwal Hoogwerkers Stadion. Midfield player Tim Hölscher was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.05/10. Hölscher hit one key pass, dribled passed the opponent 3 of 4 times and had 42 successful passes (of 45 total).
Prior to that match, the Dordrecht manager M. Santoni faced defeat when travelling to TOP Oss and losing 0-3.We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Dordrecht played away with similar odds. This revealed nine games. The visitors overcame the odds to win two times, two were draws and the home team won as expected five times.
2 goals so far away for FC Dordrecht, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 4. All from 2 league matches away.
