Excelsior, Recent FormThe Excelsior squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 4-2 away defeat against Sparta Rotterdam, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. Their share of possession in that meeting was 51%, while racking up 10 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Sparta Rotterdam, who had 12 shots on goal with 9 on target.
Supremo Marinus Dijkhuizen will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 13 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 8 goals they've managed to net. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games at Van Donge & De Roo Stadion.
Results have been poor for Excelsior recently, with 4 losses and only 1 win from their last 6 league games their current form is not going to help them move up the table. Their home form in the early part of the season has produced an unusually high number of draws, with 6 draws in 11 home league games.
Vitesse, Recent FormA 1-1 draw and a point gained against FC Volendam in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent for Vitesse last time out. They came away from that fixture with a 73% share of the possession and clocked up 31 attempts on goal with 8 on target, in comparison to FC Volendam, who managed 8 attempts on goal, 4 of which were on target.
Having scored 4 goals and conceded 9 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, and playing away from home, they have failed to score in 6 of their 11 games this season.
Vitesse will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form on the road. They've lost their last 7 league games in a row away from home and not recorded a win on their travels in 7 games.
The previous meeting between these two sides was not one to live long in the memory; that match finished without a goal, and both teams settling for a point apiece.
In their last 2 league meetings with Excelsior, Vites have not been on scoring form, not managing a single goal. Playing away from home, Vitesse have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Excelsior.
In the league, Excelsior has a good track record when they host Vitesse, getting the better of them in their last 2 home games.
