This is how the bookmakers are predicting an upcoming matchup will be resolved:
Excelsior odds: 7/5 (2.40) – 41.7%
Draw odds: 12/5 (3.40) – 29.4%
Volendam odds: 9/5 (2.80) – 35.7%
This promises to be a tight match with little that could separate the two teams, so it might be a better option for bettors to look at different opportunities that are being offered: Excelsior winning with a Multi Score of 1:0, 2:0, or 3:0 will get you odds of 7/2 (4.50) – 22.2%, but if you trust Volendam's sudden improvement in the form department, you could take a Double Chance with a Draw/Volendam Win and BTTS which is priced at 231/100 (2.31) – 30.2%.
Preview, Team News, and Predicted Lineups
Excelsior
When we look at all the teams that are fighting to stay in the Eredivisie, Excelsior is the one with the most victories at five. However, they are dropping down the rankings with each passing round and inching closer to the relegation zone because they rarely take a point. More precisely, in 16 matches played they only had one draw. They lose most of the time and it seems that there isn't a middle ground with this team. There is no Plan B that would take them to at least a shot at getting away from losing a match. They won only two of their last ten matches, and a heartbreaking loss to Sparta over the past weekend will give another hit to their fragile state of affairs. Kik Pierie, Jacky Donkor, and Yassine Ayoub are out injured.
Predicted lineup: van Gassel, Horemans, Nieuwpoort, el Yaakoubi, Tjoe a On, Baas, Fein, Azarkan, Goudmijn, Driouech, Kharchouch.
Volendam
Things have suddenly started turning in a positive direction for the youngest team in Eredivisie. Volendam was stuck at the bottom of the league looking without a purpose and a willingness to fight for their Top Division survival. But, after winning two matches in a row they actually might have a chance. Make no mistake, they are still in a lot of trouble, however, looking at the league standings they are second from bottom, but with the same amount of points as Emmen and Groningen who are above them in the rankings due to better goal difference. It's still too early to predict that goal difference will be the key factor, so Volendam needs to keep its momentum going for as long as it can. Their next opponent is in a bad state of mind due to the lack of winning, and young Volendam players will be extra motivated to bring more pain to the Excelsior team. Francesco Antonucci and Achraf Douiri are most likely going to miss the game due to injuries.
Predicted lineup: Stankovic, Mirani, Benamar, Mbuyamba, Murkin, Eiting, Da Silva, Buur, Oristanio, Ould-Chikh, Muhren.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.

FC Volendam
Player to Watch: Carel Eiting
The 24-year-old former Netherlands U21 player has been one of the best players for Volendam this season scoring two goals but also leading the team in the assists department with five. He played in all 16 matches this league season and started every game. With the way Volendam is playing, Eiting's influence will be even more visible.
