📰 Team News: Excelsior

Thanks to a mainly full-strength group of players, there’s only the one fitness issue for the Excelsior manager Ruben den Uil to be concerned with. Lennard Hartjes (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be in action.

⚡ Prediction

In our opinion, Excelsior will most probably be in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of their chances.

In contrast, Jong AZ might well find it difficult to break down their defence- but, we do see them hitting back at some stage here.

Accordingly, we see a fairly comfortable 1-3 winning margin for Excelsior at the end of the match.
