Excelsior form and stats

4-0-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Eredivisie numbers at home for Excelsior so far this season.

The club members are hoping that Excelsior will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the match against Sparta Rotterdam (placed 6th). Heartbreak for Excelsior in their last match as Sparta Rotterdam's Kitolano scored the winning goal deep into overtime. Yaakoubi, defender, was given a rating of 7.31/10 in that game, top of the team. Yaakoubi won 6 of 11 duels.

Preceding that result, a home loss in the KNVB Beker against AZ. The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Excelsior have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 7 matches with the results: Won 3, drawn 1 and lost 3.

Excelsior has scored 9 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches. Excelsior have conceded 11 from these games.
