Friday night, at 21:00, Excelsior was dueling with Zwolle, in the prologue stage number 10 Eredivisie.
Despite a not very successful developments in the last stages, Excelsior is in 9th place with 10 points, with a deficit of 5 goals on goal difference. Moreover, in the previous four confrontations in international competition, Rotterdam band managed to collect a single point and that a month ago, after a match against Willem II ended 1-1. Since then he has played three games, was defeated each time by teams like PSV (1-3) Go Ahead Eagles (0-3) and Roda (0-1).
Zwolle remains red lantern after the last two games, he has not lost, however, has 6 points, the same that we have teams on 17 and 16 seats, but disappointing goal difference, -13. Neinivnsa said it twice, the interval obtained 4 points thanks to victories with Den Haag even at home, 2-1, and drew in the previous round, 2-2 against Twente, when Mokhtar and Warmerdam signed gaps team coached by Ron Jans. Zwolle is mentioned that without a win away after four games, with two draws and as many defeats.
Probable teams:
Excelsior (4-3-3): MUYTERS – Karami – Drost – Mattheij – Owusu – Bruins – Koolwijk – Vermeulen – Ribeiro – Hasselbaink – Elbers
Zwolle (4-2-3-1): Hart – Polen – Sandler – Pavert – Verdonk – Brama – Holla – Mokhtar – Saymak – Ehizibue – Achahbar
It’s a difficult match because Zwolle face a lot of injured, and this has influenced the evolution of the team rankings. However, the match playing in Rotterdam, Excelsior makes me think that may end the negative series of matches and get at least a draw.
