Excelsior are heading into this match in good spirits. They've won two of their last five games and have only lost once in that run, showing they can grind out results. In contrast, FC Volendam have been inconsistent, but they are coming off two strong away wins in a row, which will give them plenty of confidence. However, when you look at the history between these two teams, the matches have been wild. Their last two meetings saw a combined 8 goals, and recent games at Excelsior's home ground have also been high-scoring affairs.

Given that Excelsior are playing at home and have the better recent form, they look like the team most likely to avoid defeat. This game feels very open, and with both sides capable of scoring, it could easily swing either way. I think Excelsior will either win this one or it ends in a draw, with FC Volendam finding it tough to get all three points away from home.
