Excelsior vs Breda Match Preview

Excelsior is ranked at 13th place with 20 points and comes after an awful run as they got a single win and four losses in a row over the last five matches. Now they dropped out of the play-off zone and sit six points behind Eindhoven FC that occupies the last play-off spot. They know they have to end this losing streak if they do not want to complicate their situation further and a home game could be a good chance.

Their attack is one of the best in the league with 32 goals over 17 games and in the last five matches they scored nine goals and that is impressive, considering they lost four of them. Only in the last against league leaders of Cambuur, they failed to find the back of the net.

Breda, on the other hand, is ranked at 4th place with 32 points and comes after two wins two draws and a loss over the last five matches. They have done pretty well to climb the ranks and consolidate their position in the play-off zone even though it could be difficult to try and aim for the top two considering how those teams are doing.

They have scored 30 goals until now and in the last five matches, they managed to score a total of seven goals but did so only in two matches while not finding the back of the net in the remaining three. Their rivals of today is a team that has a leaky defense and judging by the motivation, I guess they will have to dare more now.

In conclusion, I think both teams can score at least a goal here. Excelsior has a striker like Omarsson who is leading with 17 goals scored until now and he has got to step up to help his team pass this bad moment. Breda has been quite solid recently and I guess they can score a goal against a team that conceded in each of the last five matches.
