Looking at their recent form, both Excelsior and FC Volendam have been finding it difficult to win matches. Excelsior has drawn all of their last five games, while Volendam has drawn three and lost two of their last five, so neither side is coming into this match in particularly strong shape.

When these two teams have met recently, the matches have often been very tight, with many of their past meetings ending in goalless draws. However, their two most recent games this season were more open, with several goals scored in each.
