Excelsior, Recent FormIt's fair to say Excelsior will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Ajax, a match that ended in a 2-2 draw.
It seems pretty certain that Marinus Dijkhuizen will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 11 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 10 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games.
They have put together a nice run of home form recently, managing to go undefeated in 5 matches out of their last 6 at Van Donge & De Roo Stadion and recording 3 wins in that same period.
On an individual basis, Nikolas Agrafiotis has scored in each of Excelsior's last 3 league games.
Fortuna Sittard, Recent FormFortuna Sittard head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 2-1 home win against Almere City in their last league encounter.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 6, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 7 goals and some valuable points in the process. They've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 6 games.
Paul Gladon will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Fortuna Sittard.
After a good 3-0 win for Excelsior in this pair's last league encounter, Fortuna Sittard will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.
Excelsior have scored in each of their last 9 games at home in the league against Fortunezen.
In the league, Excelsior has had a good run at home against Fortuna, being unbeaten in their last 9 meetings at Van Donge & De Roo Stadion.
Excelsior manager Marinus Dijkhuizen has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Jacky Donkor (Knee), Adrian Fein (Illness) and Kik Pierie (Foot) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Fortuna manager Danny Buijs has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
