Excelsior form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Excelsior's two home games in the Eredivisie so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Van Donge & De Roo Stadion. Excelsior has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager Dijkhuizen and the players.
Excelsior lost their last game at RKC Waalwijk (placed 8th) after a 2-5 scoreline. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? Midfielder Baas was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.0 (out of ten) in that game. Baas scored one goal, served one assist and hit one key pass.
Prior to that, an away loss at FC Twente.It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Excelsior at home in the league. 4 on target and 7 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
FC Emmen form and stats
No Eredivisie points yet away for FC Emmen, from their first 2 matches. Emmen seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
FC Emmen have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 191 minutes ago. Vlak was the goal scorer.
FC Emmen failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs AZ (placed 3rd) that ended with defeat 0-3. Emmen did not look prepared in the first half against AZ and lost the game during the first 45 minutes. They need to evaluate their pre-match routine before this one. Midfielder Diemers was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.15. Diemers hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 40 successful passes (of 46 total).
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Feyenoord wasn't a success with a 0-4 loss.It's early days yet, but FC Emmen has scored 1 and conceded 8 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
Head 2 Head
Statistics for the preceeding ten meetings featuring these two teams are: five wins for Excelsior, one draw and four wins for FC Emmen. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.
