De Graafschap
WDLLDW ⚖
De Graafschap will go into this game after a 4-3 Eerste Divisie win vs FC Volendam in their previous match.
In that match, De Graafschap managed 58% possession and 17 shots at goal with 7 of them on target. For De Graafschap, the goalscorers were Tristan van Gilst (10'), Jesse van de Haar (16'), Stan Wevers (91') and Ibrahim El Kadiri (94'). At the other end, FC Volendam got 11 attempts at goal with 6 of them on target. Robert Mühren (36'), Milan de Haan (52') and Henk Veerman (60') scored for FC Volendam.
De Graafschap have seen success in front of goal in their most recent fixtures, having scored 14 times in their previous 6 matches. While their manager Jan Vreman will no doubt take that as a positive sign, De Graafschap have had their own issues at the back, also conceding in 5 of those same clashes. That sort of trend won’t necessarily be carried forward into this game, of course.
Leading up to this clash, De Graafschap:
- remain unbeaten by Excelsior when they've played them away from home in the last 2 league matches.
- are without a win away from home in their last 4 league games.

🗞️ Team News: Excelsior
Kik Pierie (Foot injury), Lance Duijvestijn (Ankle surgery), Siem de Moes (unknown injury), Derensili Sanches Fernandes (Ankle injury) and Serano Seymor (Foot injury) won’t be able to feature for Excelsior boss Ruben den Uil.
📰 Team News: De Graafschap
Thanks to a largely healthy group of players, there is just a single fitness worry for the De Graafschap gaffer Jan Vreman to be concerned with. Simon Colyn (Cruciate ligament surgery) won’t be in action.
⚡ Prediction
We’re inclined to think that Excelsior should stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.
Conversely, De Graafschap will be up against it finding the net themselves although we do reckon that they could well end up scoring here.
We’re therefore anticipating a pretty comfortable 3-1 margin for Excelsior when all’s said and done.
