Excelsior form and stats

7-2-8 (win-draw-lost) are the Eerste Divisie numbers at home for Excelsior so far this season.

It's back home for Excelsior, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating NAC Breda away with the result 2-1. Reuven Niemeijer (2) found the net in that victory. Before that, Excelsior played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Telstar.

The Excelsior fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 32 goals in 17 league matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Excelsior defense is not exactly impregnable. 30 goals conceded from 17 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

FC Dordrecht form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for FC Dordrecht, who have the fewest scored goals (35) in Eerste Divisie, so far with only 12 points returning home. The records show 4-0-13 (win-draw-lose). With the Dordrecht losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

Home advantage was not enough for Dordrecht in their previous game, as they lost their Eerste Divisie-match, hosting MVV Maastricht, 0-1. A 2-6 loss hosting FC Den Bosch before that.

It's a bit worrying for Dordrecht that their goalkeeper Liam Bossin made seven saves in the MVV Maastricht game last time out, but still couldn't prevent the loss. Late heartbreak for Dordrecht in the MVV Maastricht match, as the deciding 0-1 goal came deep into overtime.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Dordrecht as they have only managed to score 15 times from 17 away games in the league. The Dordrecht defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 51 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

FC Dordrecht - Excelsior 1-3 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's three Excelsior victories, six draws and one FC Dordrecht win. Over/under statistics; four of these games ended with three goals or more, six matches with two goals or less.
