They won a couple of games in a row which gave the team much-needed confidence for what is coming starting with the game against Excelsior. The negative aspect for Vitesse is their home record which is the third-worst in Eredivisie this season while Excelsior's away stats are even worse. They are the bottom last team when it comes to the matches played away from their home stadium. Looking at their h2h record, from the past five matches Excelsior won three while two wins went to Vitesse.
Both Teams to Score

Vitesse vs Excelsior Lineups, Preview, and Team News
Vitesse
The Arnhem outfit has finally found some breathing space from the bottom section of the Eredivisie rankings, and they did it by winning the last two games they played. Going up against Excelsior will be the perfect opportunity to extend that streak and make sure there is a pressureless end to the season. Davy Proper is the only player injured at the moment, but his absence has been a constant for Vitesse. The majority of the team is in good health which will be essential for the final part of the season.
Possible lineup: Scherpen, Arcus, Flamingo, Isimat-Mirin, Wittek, Meulensteen, van Ginkel, Manhoef, Bero, Kozlowski, Sankoh.
Excelsior
With a win against Go Ahead Eagles last weekend, Excelsior has finally shown some fighting spirit by building a two-point lead over Emmen who are just beneath the relegation zone line. The Rotterdam team has two wins from their last four matches which is a good sign for their trip to Arnhem. Sven Nieuwpoort, Nathan Markelo, Adrian Fein, Vicente Besuijen, Maxime Awoudja, and Jacky Donkor are expected to miss the match.
Possible lineup: van Gassel, Zagre, Pierie, el Yaakoubi, Horemans, Koopmeiners, Baas, Driouech, Goudmijn, Azarkan, Lamprou.
Starting lineups
