Preview
Excelsior and Heracles face at Van Donge & De Roo Stadion, in a match for the 12th round of the Eredivisie. The head‑to‑head history of the last 3 years favours the home team, since in the last 8 matches they won 5 and lost 3. The last head‑to‑head between these two teams was played on 25‑07‑2025, and ended in a (1‑2) win by Excelsior. Both teams register significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth atention.

Analysis Excelsior

The home team is currently in the 15th position of the league, with 10 points won, after 3 wins, 1 draw and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Go Ahead Eagles, by (2‑0). In the last match, they tied in an away match against Telstar, by (2‑2). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 23 goals scored and 28 conceded; against 9 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 24 goals scored and 11 conceded. For the league, Excelsior won 6 points out of 15 possible points, after 2 wins and 3 losses in the last 5 home matches. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. 12 of their last 18 matches have ended with Under 2,5 goals, so there is a tendency for few goals in their home matches. In 11 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Excelsior is on high alert in the Eredivisie. With only one win in its last five games, the team has seen the shadow of the Z-3 loom dangerously close, turning each round into a real battle for survival. The team, which has shown quality at times this season, now needs to regain the confidence and intensity that has been missing in recent performances. Playing at home, they see this match as a turning point; a win could mean breathing a sigh of relief, but any slip-up could push the club even further into the abyss of the table.

Confirmed Lineup: Stijn van Gassel, Ilias Bronkhorst, Rick Meissen, Casper Widell, Nolan Martens, Adam Carlén, Noah Naujoks, Irakli Yegoian, Szymon Wlodarczyk, Derensili Sanches Fernandes, Gyan de Regt.
Coach: M. Dijkhuizen.

Analysis Heracles

The away team is currently in the 18th position of the league, with 6 points won, after 2 wins and 9 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against FC Volendam, by (3‑0). In the last match, they won in a home match against PEC Zwolle, by (8‑2). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 2 draws and 10 losses in away matches, with 15 goals scored and 34 conceded; against 7 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 29 goals scored and 29 conceded.

In this competition, they have a sequence of 6 losses in the last away matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 11 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Heracles is trying to turn hope into reality in the Eredivisie. Despite being at the bottom of the table, the team showed signs of life with a historic 8-2 win over Zwolle, a result that reignited the flame of confidence in the squad. However, the challenge now is to prove that this performance was not a one-off, but rather the beginning of a real turnaround. Consistency, which has been lacking for much of the season, must finally appear. With wounded pride and morale in rebuilding mode, they take to the field knowing that every point can be a boost to escape the dreaded relegation.

Confirmed Lineup: Timo Jansink, Damon Mirani, Mike te Wierik, Alec Van Hoorenbeeck, Ivan Mesik, Jan Zamburek, Walid Ould-Chikh, Ajdin Hrustić, Luka Kulenovic, Bryan Limbombe, Jizz Hornkamp.
Coach: B. Sibum.
