The draw is unusually well backed at 3.50 (27.1%), which normally points to a cagey, low-scoring game rather than an open one.

Willem Ii read D-L-L-W-W-W across their last 6 in all competitions, most recent first (3W 1D 2L) — patchy.

Excelsior read W-L-W-W-W-D across their last 6 in all competitions, most recent first (4W 1D 1L) — a strong recent run.
