Fortuna Sittard's recent form has been mixed, with two wins but also a couple of losses and a draw in their last few games. Excelsior, on the other hand, is in good shape, coming off two wins and a series of draws before that.

Looking at recent meetings between these two, most of their matches have been very close and low-scoring, often ending without a goal. This suggests the upcoming game could be a tight and cautious affair.
