Utrecht have been struggling lately, losing three of their last five matches and only managing one win. Excelsior, on the other hand, are in good shape with two wins and two draws from their last five games, including an impressive away victory. The recent meetings between these two sides have been high-scoring affairs, with the last two games seeing five and four goals respectively, so this match could be quite open.

Given Utrecht's poor form and Excelsior's strong recent performances, especially away from home, Excelsior look like the team most likely to come out on top. The match at Stadion Galgenwaard appears to favor the visitors based on current momentum.
