Excelsior, Recent FormAny Excelsior pre-match expectations for their last outing were misplaced, after an unexpected 3-1 away defeat by FC Volendam.
It's fair to say that manager Marinus Dijkhuizen will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 8 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 2 clean sheets in those games.
Excelsior will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games, but having managed just 2 wins leaves them plenty of room for improvement.
On an individual basis, Nikolas Agrafiotis will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Excelsior's 10 league games this season.
AZ, Recent FormWhen AZ last played in the league they faced SC Heerenveen and produced an outstanding 3-0 home win.
With 15 goals scored from their past 6 matches and just 2 conceded, their manager Pascal Jansen will be more than happy with his team's form of late. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 12 games in a row, and they've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 games away from home.
They are showing impressive form away from home with a run of 5 straight wins in a row and added to that are unbeaten on their travels in 7 games.
On an individual basis, Vangelis Pavlidis has scored in each of AZ's last league game.
The last time these two teams met AZ enforced their superiority over Excelsior with a comfortable 5-0 win.
Excelsior have scored in each of their last 6 games at home in the league against Kaaskoppen.
In the league, Excelsior has a good track record when they host AZ, getting the better of them in their last 2 home games.
Excelsior 1 - 4 AZExcelsior manager Marinus Dijkhuizen has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Jacky Donkor (Knee), Raphaël Eyongo (Ankle), Lennard Hartjes (Knee), Kik Pierie (Foot) and Mike van Duinen (Unknown) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Mees de Wit (Foot) and Sem Westerveld (Knee) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Pascal Jansen will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
