Excelsior Team News
Excelsior was promoted from the Dutch Second division last season via playoff and in the Eredivisie this season they are in 13th place in the table with 16 points and five wins after 16 rounds.
They are on the run of two consecutive defeats in all competitions and they have five defeats in the last six games in all competitions. Excelsior is in very poor form in the league since the middle of September. They have won only two games from the last 10 and only two teams (Cambuur and Groningen) are in the worst form.
Excelsior has won 12 of 16 points at home, they are one of the worst away-from-home sides in the league. They only play well at their stadium where they have four wins.
Their defence is the second-worst in the league with 38 goals conceded and they have kept only two clean sheets this season. This season Excelsior is playing very well against the teams who are behind them in the table. In four games against those teams, they have got four wins.
FC Volendam Team News
FC Volendam also was promoted last season from the Dutch Second division. This is their first division in the top flight of Dutch football since 2009.
They are in the relegation zone after 16 rounds with 12 points and only three wins. The good news is that they have the same number of points as Groningen who is in 15th place, above the relegation zone.
In the last seven games in all competitions, Volendam has five defeats, but the good thing is that they have two consecutive wins in the league. These wins are the first ones since August and after the run of 11 games without a win.
Volendam is conceding a lot of goals this season. They have the worst defence in the league with 40 goals conceded and they have only two clean sheets this season. Because of that, their games are full of goals. When Volendam’s playing we have 3.6 goals per game and only on Ajax and PSV’s we saw more goals.
The good thing for Volendam for the rest of the season is that they didn’t play any home games against the teams from the bottom seven in the table and until the end of the season, they will have opportunities to improve their points tail and to improve league’s position.

Excelsior vs FC Volendam Prediction
This is a very important game for both teams because they are separated by only four points. Volendam is in slightly better form because they come into this game after two consecutive wins but away from home they have only one victory so far.
We will skip a full-time bet and go for goals here because we expect one open game with goals on both sides.
