This match features two teams living in the lower parts of the Eredivisie, Excelsior at 16th position and SC Cambuur sitting at 18th. A good chance for one of the teams to improve their situation.
- Excelsior have the most conceded goals (60) in Eredivisie
- SC Cambuur have the fewest scored goals (19) in Eredivisie
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Excelsior form and stats
5 victories, 1 draw and 6 defeats. That’s what Excelsior, who have the most conceded goals (60) in Eredivisie, have to build on here at Van Donge & De Roo Stadion in the Eredivisie. When Excelsior hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like FC Groningen, FC Emmen, Excelsior, FC Volendam and Vitesse), they have won 4 of 4 matches! Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Excelsior with their five defeats in a row. Not since the RKC Waalwijk game, 42 days ago, have they avoided a loss.
Excelsior are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus FC Emmen. Horemans, defender, was given a rating of 7.45/10 in that game, top of the team. Horemans won 10 of 14 duels.
Preceding that match was the home game against Sparta Rotterdam that was lost 1-4.It should be added that a peek at the 11 most recent league matches reveals that 9 of them qualified as a both teams not to score result (only one or none of the sides scored).
Excelsior are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 12 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 22 goals have been conceded.
SC Cambuur form and stats
SC Cambuur have only collected 10 points from their away games in the Eredivisie, after 2-4-6 (12 played). The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as SC Cambuur have lost on their last two travels.
Two away games in a row for Cambuur, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 2-5 versus PSV. As you can tell from the result, the match against PSV was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today? SC Cambuur goalkeeper Ruiter was glad for a super day versus PSV, but despite pulling off eleven saves the defeat could not be avoided.
Prior to that match, a home win 4-1 against Go Ahead Eagles.Observe that 9 of this side's 12 most recent league fixtures have ended with three goals or more.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting SC Cambuur as they have only managed to score 10 times from 12 away games in the league. In the opposite end, Cambuur have conceded 20 goals in their away games.
