Venue: De Adelaarshorst (10400 seats)

The Eerste Divisie league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. These two teams are placed 10th and 4th respectively.

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.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Excelsior have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 8-2-15 (win-draw-loss) from 25 matches.
