Excelsior, Recent FormExcelsior will be looking to regroup after their bruising encounter with AZ in which they suffered a 4-0 away defeat. They achieved 42% possession in that match and had 4 strikes at goal, with 0 hitting the target, up against AZ's tally of 16 efforts at goal, 10 of which were on target.
They have found the net 6 times in their last 6 matches, but it hasn't earned them much points-wise due to a leaky defence that's shipped 20 goals in that same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 21 of their 25 games overall.
Serious concerns will be mounting for Roodzwarten, having gone without a win in their last 7 league games and lost the last 6 in a row.
RKC Waalwijk, Recent FormRKC Waalwijk will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 3-1 home win against Vitesse. Their share of possession in that meeting was 43%, while racking up 17 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target. Vitesse had 20 shots on goal with 5 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Henk Fraser will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 5 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 7 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. Although failing to score in 4 of their last 6 games, they may have turned a corner having won their last 1, but they have conceded a goal in 11 of their 12 away games this season.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 6 games.
Michiel Kramer will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for RKC Waalwijk.
Despite both teams hitting the net in their previous encounter, the match ended in a 2-2 draw.
Excelsior have managed to keep a clean sheet against RKC in each of their previous 2 meetings at Van Donge & De Roo Stadion. Roodzwarten have struggled for goals when RKC comes to visit Van Donge & De Roo Stadion, having scored just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings.
It has been a share of the points the last 2 times these sides have met in the league, with the game ending in a draw on both occasions; that said, RKC may be feeling slightly more positive, having built up a run of 4 matches undefeated against their opponents.
Excelsior manager Marinus Dijkhuizen has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Mimeirhel Benita (Foot), Jacky Donkor (Knee), Raphaël Eyongo (Ankle), Lennard Hartjes (Knee), Kik Pierie (Foot) and Serano Seymor (Unknown) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Nouri El Harmazi (Shoulder) and Mats Seuntjens (Unknown) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Henk Fraser will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
