As AZ and Excelsior renew their battle, the memory of AZ's 4-2 win in their Eerste Divisie encounter from 8 months ago still lingers. AZ's second team enter this encounter after securing a victory over Eindhoven in Eerste Divisie on May 2, pushing their unbeaten streak to three games.

Excelsior enter the match on a positive note in the same manner, having secured eight victories in a row against PSV, Emmen, Volendam, Oss, MVV Maastricht, Utrecht, Eindhoven and Den Bosch in their last eight outings. All the same, their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have been conceding goals for ten consecutive away matches now.

This Eerste Divisie match offers a platform for AZ's second team and Excelsior’s goal-scorers to step up and leave their mark on the contest. AZ’s top finisher Ro-Zangelo Daal and Elijah Dijkstra have played important roles in ensuring their attack, under the tactical direction of Leeroy Echteld, remains effective. Daal has already scored fifteen goals in Eerste Divisie this season, while Dijkstra has been their leading creator in the competition with eight assists. AZ’s offense has also been strengthened by Jayden Addai, Kees Smit and Jayen Gerold, who have provided crucial contributions in the final third.

Meanwhile, Lance Duijvestijn and Derensili Sanches Fernandes have been pivotal for Excelsior’s attack, carefully orchestrated by Ruben den Uil, combining to deliver important goals and assists. Duijvestijn has emerged as Excelsior’s leading scorer in Eerste Divisie this season, netting eleven goals, while also leading the team in assists, having set up nine goals this campaign. Supporting them are Noah Naujoks, Richie Omorowa and Ilias Bronkhorst, who have also chipped in with important goals and assists, adding depth to Excelsior’s attack.
