Venue: Van Donge & De Roo Stadion (4500 seats)

Excelsior and Jong Ajax are both riding high in the Eerste Divisie with their 5th and 4th positions respectively. Expect a great game!

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Eerste Divisie.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Jong Ajax have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 12-4-8 (win-draw-loss) from 24 matches.

Excelsior form and stats

5 victories, 0 draws and 0 defeats. That’s what Excelsior have to build on here at Van Donge & De Roo Stadion in the Eerste Divisie. Ever since the RKC Waalwijk game Excelsior has been unbeatable here at Van Donge & De Roo Stadion producing five straight wins.

Excelsior manager R. Moniz and his team return home after a 0-0 draw away versus MVV Maastricht (placed 18th) in the Eerste Divisie. Ahead of that match, Excelsior won a home game hosting FC Dordrecht (3-2).

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the KNVB Beker game versus NEC in only four days. This game is also played here at Van Donge & De Roo Stadion.
