In their most recent match on 06 May 2024, NEC triumphed with a score of 3-0.
Team analysis: NEC
The home side makes their debut in this edition after finishing the previous season in eighth place. In their last match in the Eredivisie, they were edged out by FC Twente, losing 3-2 after extra time. In the past 10 home encounters, NEC has claimed three wins, five draws, and two losses. Defensive solidity has not been their strong suit, as they have conceded goals in seven of the last ten matches; however, their attack has been consistent, scoring in eight of the last ten. There has been a tendency for goals in their games, with 17 of the last 18 home matches featuring over 1.5 goals, and 14 of those exceeding 2.5 goals. Of the 15 games, they conceded the first goal nine times, successfully turning the score around on only one occasion.
At the critical juncture of the last season, NEC lacked decisive action. They enter this Dutch Championship season determined to avoid repeating past errors. With the advantage of a supportive home crowd, they will seek to capture three vital points right from the start.
Team analysis: Excelsior
This match will mark the first match for the visiting team in this edition, having finished the previous one in second place and securing promotion. Excelsior comes into this match following a victory over Heracles Almelo, winning 2-1. In their last ten matches across all competitions, they have achieved five wins and five losses. Their attack has been consistently effective, scoring at least once in each of their last ten fixtures. Goals have been prevalent in their games, with 19 out of 22 recent matches having exceeded 1.5 goals, and 16 matches surpassing 2.5 goals.

Notably, they conceded 9 of their 25 goals in the last 20 matches during the last 15 minutes of play.
Excelsior is back in the elite of Dutch football with the aim of remaining in this division.
