Excelsior, Recent FormThe Excelsior squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 3-1 away defeat against Heracles Almelo, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed.
Whilst manager Marinus Dijkhuizen will be pleased with his team's performance in front of goal, having scored 14 goals in their last 6 games, he will want to tighten up his defence if they are to pick up more points, with 13 goals conceded in the same period. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
There will be mixed feelings from Roodzwarten, although undefeated in their last 3 league games at home, 2 of these games ended in a draw.
On an individual basis, Nikolas Agrafiotis has scored in each of Excelsior's last 5 league games.
Almere City, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-1 home defeat by PEC Zwolle will have left the Almere City squad feeling a little deflated.
Manager Alex Pastoor will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 16 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 7 goals they managed at the other end. Their goal scoring streak away from home now stands at 13 games in a row, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 when on their travels.
With 4 defeats and just 1 victory in their last 6 league matches, they have had a poor run and will need to turn that around if they want to start climbing the table.
Álvaro Peña has scored 3 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Excelsior.
After a good 3-0 win for Almere City in this pair's last league encounter, Excelsior will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.
Excelsior have scored in each of their last 8 games at home in the league against De Zwarte Schapen. Almere have a good attacking record away to Roodzwarten in the league, having scored a total of 12 goals in their last 3 visits, which gives an average of 4 goals per game. In their last 3 away league games against Roodzwarten, Almere have conceded a total of 12 goals and that's an average of 4 per game.
In the league, Excelsior have not won any of their last 4 meetings with Almere.
Excelsior manager Marinus Dijkhuizen has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Jacky Donkor (Knee), Adrian Fein (Illness), Lennard Hartjes (Knee) and Kik Pierie (Foot) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Kornelius Hansen (Unknown) and Faiz Mattoir (Knee) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Alex Pastoor will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
