Excelsior grabbed what could prove to be an extremely important three-point haul in the Dutch Eredivisie on Monday with a 3-2 win away from home at Groningen which followed on from an emphatic 5-0 demolition of Utrecht at home, helping lift the upcoming hosts up into 14th place in the table where they hold a three-point cushion above the relegation play-off spot.
These two recent will have certainly come as a huge relief for manager Ruben den Uil and his side who had previously stumbled to a disappointing eight-game winless run in the Eredivisie which included being dealt no fewer than six defeats in the process.
This upcoming encounter with third from bottom outfit Volendam has therefore become a pivotal clash where Excelsior will be keen to improve upon a home record standing at 5-2-9 19/21 so far this term.
Volendam currently occupy third from bottom place in the Eredivisie table and therefore the relegation play-off spot ahead of this upcoming trip to Stadion Woudestein to take on Excelsior next Sunday.
Despite recording a welcome 2-0 win away from home at the basement dwellers, Heracles, in their previous fixture, Volendam returned to type on Monday with a disappointing 2-0 loss at home to Heerenveen which now makes it just one win from their last seven matches overall.
Within this sequence, Volendam have been handed five losses overall, three of which have been inflicted upon Rick Kruys’ side on their travels following defeats at the hands of Twente, Sparta Rotterdam and NEC within an overall poor looking record away from home which stands at 2-2-12 10/31.
The Betting Verdict
Excelsior have won three of the last four meetings with Volendam.
The Pick :
Excelsior 2-1 Volendam
