Excelsior desperately need points on Saturday, Mar 13 at 8:00 PM in the Eredivisie. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Excelsior come into this fixture struggling badly (0W 4L in last 5). NEC Nijmegen, meanwhile, arrive drawing too many games (4D in last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

In 10 previous meetings, Excelsior lead 3–5 with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 2–2 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 4.2 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Excelsior a slight edge, but NEC Nijmegen are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
