What to expect
How Excelsior handle the opening twenty minutes at home could set the tone. It should be a good watch for neutrals as well as for supporters of either club. Whatever the table says, one-off games like this have a habit of ignoring the script. A result here could shift things in this season’s Eredivisie table, even if only by a place or two. Managers will have a few decisions to make before kick-off, and the starting line-ups are usually confirmed shortly before the game. Home form and away form can look very different over a season, and this game is a fair test of both. A clean start and a solid shape at the back are usually the first things coaches ask for in games like this. However the match unfolds, it will add another chapter to the season for both clubs. As ever with fixtures like this, the pre-match talk counts for little once the first whistle goes. Late goals have a way of changing the story of a match, so it is worth staying with it until the end. Set pieces, transitions and the first twenty minutes are usually the things worth watching early on. It is worth checking this page again closer to kick-off for any change to the details.
