Looking at recent results, Excelsior is in decent shape. They've won two of their last five matches, drawn two, and lost just once. That recent loss was a heavy 5-0 defeat, but overall they've been picking up points. ADO Den Haag, on the other hand, are really struggling. They have lost four of their last five games, and many of those defeats have been by wide margins, like 5-1 and 4-0. Their only win in that run was a good 3-1 result away from home.

When these two teams have met before, it's often been a goal-fest. Their last three head-to-head matches have seen totals of 7, 5, and 8 goals, including a wild 4-4 draw. Given that Excelsior is in better form and ADO Den Haag is losing confidence, this match looks like it could be a tight and open game with goals. Excelsior should win.
