Excelsior vs Almere City Lineups, Team News, and Match Preview
Excelsior
One thing can always be counted when it comes to Excelsior, there is a chance for a lot of goals to be scored. The home side has all sorts of injury issues ahead of this weekend's match: Kik Pierie, Adrian Fein, Lennard Hartjes, Couhaib Driouech, Jacky Donkor, Mike van Duinen, and Raphael Eyongo are likely to miss the game. Lazaros Lamprou is suspended.
Possible lineup: van Gassel, Widell, Horemans, Nieuwpoort, Zagre, Baas, el Yaakoubi, Sandra, Agrafiotis, Fernandes, Naujoks.
Almere City
There was a lot of excitement for the Almere City fan base when they qualified for the Eredivisie, but those feelings are long gone after the club understood their new reality with four straight losses and a goal difference of 4-14. Danny Post, Milan Corryn, Faiz Mattoir, and Kornelius Hansen are injured.
Possible lineup: Bakker, Akujobi, Barbet, Floranus, van Bruggen, Pena, Koopmeiners, Cathline, Duijvestijn, van La Parra, Robinet.
Player to Watch: Nikolaos Agrafiotis
There is a surprising name at the top of the scorer's charts in the Eredivisie, it's Nikolaos Agrafiotis who has scored four goals in as many matches for Excelsior. The 23-year-old Serbian international is in his second season with the Rotterdam outfit and has been doing some impressive work to keep his team out of the relegation zone for the time being.
Agrafiotis was raised at Vitesse's academy, he went through all the youth teams but never made his debut for the senior squad. Eventually, he ended up at FC Dordrecht before moving to Excelsior which has been his best transfer yet. The team from Rotterdam has held its ground thus far and Agrafiotis has everything to do with that fact.
