Some teams have been doing a lot better in the second part of the Eredivisie season, but Excelsior doesn't belong in that category.

Excelsior vs Cambuur Lineups, Team Information, and Preview

Excelsior

There is a massive crisis at Excelsior, and it seems that the team doesn't have a way to pull themselves out of the trouble. Coach Marinus Dijkhuizen has been at the helm since the summer of 2020, and these are some of the hardest times he has endured at the club. They had a positive season in the first part of the year, but somehow things went in a different direction since the team came back from the winter break. To make things worse, the injury list is quite long: Marouan Azarkan, Mike van Duinen, Adrian Fein, Vicente Besuijen, Maxime Awoudja, Kik Pierie, and Jacky Donkor are all carrying some form of an injury.

Possible lineup: van Gassel, Horemans, Nieuwpoort, el Yaakoubi, Tjoe a On, Koopmeiners, Goudmijn, Lamprou, Naujoks, Driouech, Agrafiotis.

Cambuur

The visiting team knows all too much about the troubling times, they have been enduring them for the entire season. Cambuur is the last in the standings, but like every team in the relegation zone, they still have a chance of rescuing themselves to live another day among the Eredivisie elite. Michael Breij, Ben Rienstra, Marco Tol, and Maxim Gullit are out through injury.

Possible lineup: Ruiter, Schmidt, Bergsma, Smand, Bangura, van Kaam, Paulissen, Foor, Balk, Johnsen, Mahi.
