Feyenoord come into this match in solid form, with two wins and two draws from their last five games. They have been tough to beat and have generally looked like the stronger side. Excelsior, on the other hand, have been more inconsistent, with two wins, two losses, and a draw in their last five outings. They have shown they can score goals, but they have also been prone to heavy defeats, which is a concern.

Looking at the recent meetings between these two teams, the matches have been very open and high-scoring. Five of the last six games have seen at least three goals, and both teams have had success winning away from home. Given Feyenoord's current good shape and home advantage, they are the clear favorite to win, but the history of high-scoring and close contests means it should be an entertaining game.
