Ómarsson (70′) for NAC and Mike van Duinen (87′) for Excelsior. Home advantage may play a significant role in this match, as NAC shows notable disparities in results when playing at home versus away.

Analysis of NAC

The home team is currently in 17th place with 16 points, having achieved 3 wins, 7 draws, and 11 losses. In their penultimate match, they drew away against PSV (2-2). In the last match, they drew at home against FC Twente (2-2).

In the league, NAC has secured 9 points out of 30 available after 2 wins, 3 draws, and 5 losses in their last 10 home matches. In home league games, the most common score at halftime has been 0-1, occurring in 4 of their 11 games.

In 21 matches this season, they have conceded the first goal 14 times and have managed to overturn the score only once.

NAC is currently enduring an uncomfortable streak of draws and needs more qualified performances, even at home. The team struggles to translate possession into concrete results. With the Eredivisie getting tighter, the margin for error has nearly vanished. Pressure mounts with each round and dropping points is no longer an option. This moment demands a more aggressive stance and quicker decisions on the field. Now at home, expectations are high. Facing a more confident Excelsior, NAC will need to match that intensity.

After 6 wins, 5 draws, and 10 losses, the visiting team is in 13th place with 23 points. In their last outing, they drew with Ajax at home (2-2), after previously drawing away against FC Twente (0-0).

In the last 10 away games in the league, Excelsior has recorded 2 wins, 3 draws, and 5 losses, earning 9 points from 30 available.

In this competition, they have drawn in their last 4 games. Defensive solidity has not been a strong point, as they conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their attack has scored regularly, netting in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 21 games, they have never managed to turn around the score in the 10 matches when conceding first. In their last 10 away games for this competition, one trend stands out: they scored 4 of their 10 goals between the 76th and 90th minutes.

Excelsior continues struggling to break their winless streak but still maintains a more comfortable position in the Eredivisie table. This relative advantage allows them to play their football more naturally, without the extreme pressure of each round. The team plays with lesser weights on their shoulders, betting on organization and patience. Confidence in the process remains intact. Now, the challenge comes away from home. Against the sixteenth-placed team, Excelsior sees an opportunity to react.
