Excelsior – ADO Den Haag

Excelsior host a struggling ADO Den Haag at home, looking to consolidate their sixth‑place standing with ten points from three wins, a draw and two defeats, and a respectable 13‑7 goal difference. ADO, languishing at the foot of the table with just one point after a solitary draw and five losses, have conceded 16 goals while scoring only six, highlighting the gulf in form between the two sides. The Rotterdam side will aim to extend their recent run of victories, while the Hague outfit will need to reverse a bleak run of results to avoid slipping further into the relegation zone. A head‑to‑head record that heavily favours Excelsior adds another psychological edge to what promises to be a decisive encounter for both clubs.
