Match Preview
FC Volendam will host Excelsior at the Kras Stadion on Saturday, 20 September, in what promises to be an intriguing Eredivisie clash. Volendam's recent form has been concerning, with just two draws and three losses in their last five matches, leaving them struggling to find their footing in the league. In contrast, Excelsior has shown signs of improvement, bouncing back with two wins in their last three outings after a shaky start to the season.
A key angle to consider is the historical head-to-head record, which reveals a balanced rivalry with both teams winning four times in their last ten encounters. Additionally, six of those matches have seen both teams score, suggesting that defensive frailties could be exposed once again. Given Volendam's recent struggles and Excelsior's resurgence, this match could see plenty of action, particularly in front of goal. Fans should expect an entertaining contest, with both teams eager to secure crucial points as they navigate the early stages of the season.
