Excelsior form and stats

With the first game of the season soon underway, it's time to look at the results from the Excelsior friendly games in pre-season: Excelsior played three friendlies, won 2, drew 0 and lost 1. If you are really into statistics you might appreciate knowing that Excelsior scored 5 goals and conceded 3 in these three games.

Disaster struck Excelsior last season as they could not defend their status as a Eredivisie team. With 19 defeats from 34 games, and only 9 wins, relegation could not be avoided. Excelsior are hopeful of bouncing straight back up, but need to improve upon their home record from last season of W6 D4 L7.
