Preview
Utrecht and Excelsior meet at Stadion Galgenwaard, in a match for the 3rd round of the Eredivisie. The head‑to‑head history of the last 3 years favours the home team, since in the last 4 matches they won 2 and tied 2. The last head‑to‑head between these two teams was played on 27‑01‑2024, and ended in a draw by (1‑1). Excelsior registers significant differences between home and away results, so special attention is due to the home/away factor.

Analysis Utrecht

Currently in the 5th position of the league, the home team has conquered 3 points so far. In the 1st round, they won at home against Heracles Almelo by (4‑0). In the following round, the final score was a (2‑1) loss in an away match against Sparta Rotterdam. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses in away matches; against 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses at their stadium. Utrecht has won 7, tied 1 and lost 2 of the last 10 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 6 times, but have turned the score around in 2.

Utrecht approaches this match looking to demonstrate strength in front of its fans and remain competitive at the top of the table. In two games, it has won one and lost one, boasting a productive attack that has already scored five goals. The team typically displays intensity in attack, seeking to accelerate the game and constantly create opportunities. Now, the goal is to transform this pressure into more consistent results, avoiding fluctuations that could cost important points.

Confirmed Lineup: Vasilios Barkas, Siebe Horemans, Souffian El Karouani, Mike van der Hoorn, Matisse Didden, Gjivai Zechiël, Victor Jensen, Alonzo Engwanda, Miguel Rodríguez, David Min, Adrian Blake.
Coach: H. Fraser.

Analysis Excelsior

The away team is currently in the 17th position of the league, no points won yet. In their debut they lost in an away match against NEC Nijmegen, by (5‑0). In the second round, they lost in a home match against Feyenoord, by (1‑2). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 25 goals scored and 24 conceded; against 10 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 27 goals scored and 9 conceded. In the last 10 away matches Excelsior has won 5 and lost 5. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 19 of the last 22 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals and 16 out of 22 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 12 of the last 15 matches, they have reached half‑time in front in 6 of those 12 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 9 of them.

Excelsior is going through a difficult period, still without a single point in the championship. In two rounds, the team conceded seven goals and scored only one, highlighting the fragility of its defensive system. For this match, the team will have to focus on correcting flaws at the back and seeking greater offensive efficiency if it wants to react. The challenge is significant, especially when facing an opponent with greater balance and firepower in attack, which demands concentration and tactical discipline.

Confirmed Lineup: Calvin Raatsie, Stan Henderikx, Arthur Zagré, Nolan Martens, Casper Widell, Irakli Yegoian, Noah Naujoks, Adam Carlén, Derensili Sanches Fernandes, Gyan de Regt, Mike van Duinen.
Coach: M. Dijkhuizen.
