⭐ Editor's Prediction
Excelsior, despite their struggles in attack throughout the season, have shown consistent results in recent matches. The team has not only climbed out of the league's basement but also opened up a three-point gap. On the other hand, Volendam's lack of scoring prowess has negatively affected their standing in the Eredivisie. If this trend continues, the visitors might find themselves in relegation playoffs to retain their spot in the Dutch top flight. As for the upcoming game, it's hard to expect much from Volendam given the strong form of the hosts and their unfavorable head-to-head record, with Volendam failing to beat Excelsior in their last four encounters. Everything seems to point towards an Excelsior victory.
