The league table in Tweede Divisie tells a story about these teams so far, with Katwijk leading Excelsior Maassluis by 18 points. Match preview to follow:
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.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Excelsior Maassluis have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 10-5-16 (win-draw-loss) from 31 matches.

Katwijk drew their last game, 2-2 away at De Treffers (placed 7th). Ahead of that match, Katwijk won a home game hosting TEC (2-0).
A disappointing finish for Katwijk in their match versus De Treffers as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 2-2 full time score.

Excelsior Maassluis form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Excelsior Maassluis so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 3-1-6 (win-draw-lose). The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Excelsior Maassluis have lost on their last two travels.
The manager D. Corneille was unhappy after their last game, a Tweede Divisie match played at their home ground Sportpark Dijkpolder. Excelsior Maassluis suffered a 2-3 loss to AFC (placed 5th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Rijnsburgse Boys wasn't a success with a 3-4 loss.
Excelsior Maassluis are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 14 away goals from 10 games (in the league). The Excelsior Maassluis manager D. Corneille has some worries about the defense as 24 goals have been conceded in these travels.
